Windows 95 Installation
Because of the industrial nature of the VSBC-6, a "Custom" installation of Windows 95 is
recommended. Addition of ethernet and video drivers are accomplished after the operating
system is fully installed.
Note! If the "custom" option is not used, the installation program will hang at the 30%
and 35% points in the automatic hardware detection phase. The installation can be
completed this way, however, it requires more time since a system restart is
required after each of the two detection errors.
