   but I only have heard of people running this with DOS, Windows 3.1, and OS/2.   
   Does anyone know if it works under Windows 95?

   I have an 8580 with  Reply TurboBoard in it, running Win95.  I've actually   
   been fiddling with it these past couple of weeks and it runs great!  I'm   
   pretty sure I didn't even install a driver, Win95 picked it up out of the box.    
      
   Make sure you set you the Adapter BIOS-ROM / RAM Location to one of the larger   
   32k values like: D8000-DFFFF  I had to jumble around the addresses of the the   
   other cards to make it work, but I noticed a huge performance hit otherwise.
