Unknown PCI Cards
Windows PCI Configuration

I recently got a hard drive for my IO (Version 3, flashed with Version 1 bios via qnx) and on first bootup win95, which was previously installed on the drive, reconfigured itself for the new hardware. However, there were two pci devices which showed up as unknown. I have no idea what parts of the IO it is referring to. Anyone know which these devices are so I can get the right drivers?

It's not usually successful to move an already configured and setup drive to another computer. Win 95 may not be able to figure out everything on the I-Opener....after-all, it's a six year old system, completely outdated with respect to newer hardware. Does your sound work? These pci devices may actually be the sound chip (Yamaha). Other people reported trouble with Win95 and sound. Good luck....I'd suggest a clean install.

I havent tried sound but I do have ms compadible sound, soundblaster, and opl-3 listed in my devices. All three have conflicts though :( I didnt do a clean install because its only a 300mb hard drive, which is all I had lying around.

You should have enough space to copy the Win95 cab files to the hard drive. I have heard of one method that may work for you....use at your own risk!!!. You'll need access to the cab files......In device manager, remove EVERYTHING. When you reboot,Win95 will be forced to re-configure all the hardware devices.....essentially a clean install. The last version of Win95 (with USB support), had Yamaha sound drivers that may work. You may be beating your head on a wall.....I'd get a larger hard drive and one of the newer systems, ME or Win2000.

98 and later were much better at plug and pray than 95 was.

But either way, I got better results by copying the cabs (winxx) directory to the blank bootable hard drive (boots to c: prompt) and running setup from there.

I had done what you described (take an already installed OS on a HD). I allowed the boot up to install everything new it found, and I removed everything unused. It worked fine. But it took as long as a later clean install did, due to the multiple reboots before all the new drivers were happy.
