- I thought the same thing, UNTIL I upgraded by Win95 drivers.
- The win95 driver for the Triton chipset doesnt do bus-mastering.
- I upgraded my Triton drivers for win95, but the readme says not to load
- the cd-rom driver. And sure enough, if you load mscdex, the triton
- driver
- freezes up win95. This is not a problem for me, since my system boots to
- the command prompt anyway, but for others, its a new one...
