WINOSR2 Problems with Matrox Mystique

Has anyone been able to run Win95 VerB with their Mystique card?
Is so, can you tell me what version of Powerdesk you are running?

I had problems getting it to work. I am presently running 3.61. I
managed to get windows starting where previously it used to hang or give
me an error message saying my video hardware was not configured
properly, etc.
What I did was to reinstall Direct X 3.0 and now windows starts using
the Mystique driver.

BUT when I run the mystique diagnostic feature, it says there is a
problem with the bus mastering feature and recommends I turn it off.
I don't want to turn Bus mastering off and lose any performance, so I've
left it on and everything is running smoothly, however the thought that
the card is not working smoothly still annoys me.

I plan to reinstall win95B and use the 3.51 Microsoft certified driver.
Hopefully there should be no problems. Anyone had similar problems and
fixed it? I would like to know. I hope Matrox is reading this and fixes
this problem. 

P.S. If I still get the same problem, I'll have to go back to Win95a.

Hopefully someone else has found a fix for this problem.

Regards,
       Scheldon
