 - Fixes a problem where users of Windows 95 or Windows NT would 
   experience a system lockup during shutdown if they had a 
   SoundBlaster AWE64 sound card installed.

 - Fixes a problem that caused the Madge fiber optic network card to 
   generate a "101 - Option ROM Error" during power up.

 - Adds support for hard drives larger than 8 gigabytes.

 - Adds support for Intellimirror (client data maintained on a central 
   server) and PXE (remote network boot). 

 - Fixes a problem where users of Windows 95 would experience
   a system lockup during a warm boot if they had Norton 95 
   installed and CPU address line A20 disabled.
