Check out loadlin in the tools path. You will need to set up config.sys
with a menu, so you can choose between Linux and Win95. Then set up
autoexec.bat to run loadlin, or win95 depending on your selection from the
menu. Check with me if you need more details.

I hesitate to say anything here, as my knowledge may be dated or just
plain incorrect. It is my understanding that the Diamond Stealth cards are
not supported due to NDAs being required by Diamond. If this has changed,
someone please correct me ;-)
