Kevin:
This is an excellent candidate for WindowsNT. As you already have Win95
running, most of the drivers for your peripherals should already be loaded.
You would just need to run a normal NT Workstation (or Server if you've got
the bucks) install. BEFORE YOU INSTALL NT, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE
DRIVERS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR HARDWARE!!!! (Check to make sure they are on the
NT hardware list, available on the NT install CD or from www.microsoft.com)
NT will automatically install a menu at boot for you to pick the operating
system you wish to run in. With 95 installed it will ask if you want Win95
or WindowsNT 4.0.  NT will run several OSs under it including DOS, OS/2,
UNIX, and several others.
