now, the trick is, i'm not actually rewriting the windows 95 driver at the moment. i was thinking about doing that, but even with the stuff being released under MIT license, i decided if i'm going to be writing a kernel driver based on something partly reverse-engineered from a binary, i'm gonna have a different target for the driver to quash potential accusations of impropriety.
so i'm targeting NT4 instead, since it still uses tools from the same era, will run the exact same unmodified .dlls and binaries, but has a dramatically different driver model
... i was also getting fed up with win9x crashing on me constantly, and NT4 is proving very stable after updates, with only one BSOD that was due to the hard drive dying underneath it
