What type of drivers are you looking to load? As for running games (which is 
what THIS newsgroup is for), I have yet to have to load any secondary 
drivers...So far, Win95 supports all of my hardware in DOS sessions 
with VDD's...these include: 4 SCSI HD's + 1 CDROM, Soundblaster AWE, Stealth 
Video VRAM, 2 USR 28.8's, mouse, etc...so I don't really see anything other 
than those that any game needs...and because they are all supported internally 
by Win95, I don't have to load ANY real mode drivers, so I still have around 
630-630k free to DOS app's...
