If you are Win'95 OSR 2.1 user, only TX.EXE installation is necessary. If you
are Win'95 retail(.950 or .950A, shows "PCI Card") user, there is no direct
upgrade path available from Microsoft at this moment. All of above are expected
to be implemented under Windows'97.
Standard Dual PCI IDE Controller:
The IDE controller chipset -- PIIX4 -- will be fully recognized under Windows'97
also. In the mean while, you may download the driver for Win'95 from AOpen
homepage at "http://www.aopen.com.tw" which supports both Bus Mastering &
Ultra DMA/33. After installation, you should be able to see Win'95 recognize it
under Device Manager as below:

Intel 82371AB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
Primary Bus Master IDE Controller
Secondary Bus Master IDE Controller

chipset which are expected to implement on Win'97, your system still can enjoy
the best performance of AP5T/AX5T without any problem.
Q: How can I eliminate the "?" marks presented under Device Manager after
installing Win'95 on TX based system?

requests about how to eliminate it. AOpen driver team spends few weeks to
develop an utility (TX.EXE) for convenience of Win95 users. It is very user

AP5T/AX5T. You are welcome to distribute it, simply say thanks to our driver
team.
