Luke, you will definitely need to re-install Win95. 
It would be best if you could boot to floppy straight after the 
M/B upgrade, and run Win95 setup from there.

When the installation has finished you may find that you have 
a phantom PS/2 mouse and a standard IDE controller (instead of EIDE) 
reported by Win95 Device Manager. 
This is due to a crap AMI BIOS that is shipped with the board. 
There is a good shareware Bios available from Micriod..... 

Mr Bios for Intel Zappa:

If you do upgrade your bios, you must run the "Add new hardware" 
applett, for the relevant changes to take place. 
The bios upgrade is very easy to do. 

I upgraded to the Zappa with a P75 clocked to 90mhz a few months ago, 
and I'm very pleased with it. The "Mr Bios", bios is good. 

Best of luck and hope this info helps....
