PiiX4 or 82371EB/PiiX4E PCI Bus Master IDE Controllers.

IMPORTANT!  This update MUST be run right after Windows 95 is installed
and before any other SoftPaqs are applied.  During the redetection process, 
whenever the "Update Device Driver Wizard" and "System Settings Change" 
dialogs are displayed, accept the default selections.  At the end of the 
installation, when prompted to restart the computer now or later, restart 
the computer immediately.
