To get your CDROM working you'll need Dos drivers to be loaded in your config.sys &amp;&nbsp;autoexec.bat files at bootup.<br />
When Win95 loads, it will detect the drive and replace the real mode drivers with a protected mode version.<br />
You should then remove the MSCDEX statement from autoexec.bat.<br />
When changing a motherboard (if different from the one being replaced) I would recommend that you re-install Win95 completely.<br />
Let us know if you need help setting up the drivers or with Win95 setup.<br />
