That would actually make some sense, being I have 2 ISA slots open one 8 bit and the other 16 bit. Question is why would Windows 95 even see the open slots if nothing is in them thou. I don't think a 386 ISA motherboard from 1992 is Plug and Play but Windows 95 B seems to think so.
The IDE/FDD controller card does have another serial port header however, it is listed under the COM & LPT section of device manager as COM2, COM1 is the Microsoft Serial Mouse. Two additional Printer Ports LPT2 & LPT3 are listed too, however, I don't recall seeing a header on the controller for more Parallel Ports 0,0

I don't even run it on my DX4-100 120Mhz
It's actually not too bad with 16 MB of RAM a 33 mhz 80386 and 33mhz 80387, does it stall a few times, sure but I remember my first computer, which was a 486, stalling too when doing certain tasks. The only thing that sucked was it took forever to install, like overnight 😒
What's funny is I put a hard drive from another computer that had Windows 98 SE on it and it ran in safe mode, it couldn't even determine the processor type, but it was hilarious to see a 386 running Windows 98 SE xD

That should narrow it down.
Hmm, it has the network card (with a dial up adapter?...it's 10MBps LAN with RJ45, BNC and AUI), the sound card with joystick/MIDI port, the two standard IDE controllers, the Trident VGA card (still malfunctioning thinking it's a power supply issue), the standard floppy controller, all the drives A through D and the standard system devices show up (System Clock, Board, etc.) The only thing left would be the Promise EIDE card, other than that, everything else is standard unless, the chipset are being detected somehow?
