this is such a scary statement.  just because Win95 can do it doesn't mean 
that a) it's possible for a "real" multitasking OS to do it and b) it's a
good idea.  keep in mind that Win95 is a kludged piece of junk.  i bet you
that Win NT (4.0 anyway) can't do shared IRQs.

I'm asking because I've got two VS3100's in need of a real and pleasant to
use operating system.  (VMS is unpleasant and Ultrix is not a real OS).
