VxWorks 5.3 - from LP-elektronik (more details when I came back to DESY)
But The VxWorks is not a task of Win95, a VxWin kernel is ruuning,
(and more or less) it has 2 task, one high priority, the
VxWorks and one low priority , the Win95. You also need a special
card from LP-Elektronik. 

You have lost only the system level debuggiing, while in this case
VxWorks 'is' running, and the low priority job (Win95) -including
rthe debbuger tools are waiting for the 'end' of VxWorks.
