I've tried it with the BIOS turned off and also with it enabled.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to get past the point of conflicting at the I/O
addresses, buffer memory range assignment, and interrupt. All of these are in
collision with local system resources. Windows asserts that none of the
assignments can be changed in Device Manager.

since the BIOS
features of this HP system are somewhat restrictive and not
totally transparent.
If the BIOS will allow you to turn off "PnP OS", I'd do that. Then
you can force W95 to accept hard setting assignments for most resources
in Device Manager.
Is the Mylex BIOS running at boottime? If so, any conflicts should be
solvable in Windows.
But you probably know all that....
