The Professional Workstation motherboard, commonly referred to as 'Panther' will not support NT 3.51, NT 4.0, or Windows 95. It will support NT 3.0 and Win 3.11. This product went to End of Life status prior to the advent of these Operating systems and subsequently no drivers exist nor will any drivers be manufactured. The workaround is to disable the onboard SCSI controller and install a 3rd party SCSI card or network interface card that supports these newer operating systems.
