Windows 95 takes more control of the hardware than Windows 3.1 does. It sounds like what is happening is that you are trying to share the parallel port between a printer and your hardware lock. Windows 95 is probably blocking access to 3DS because it has assigned the parallel port to the printer. Your best option would probably be to purchase an additional parallel port card for the machin so the hardware lock can have a dedicated port. Also, as a beta tester for Windows 95, you should report this issue to Microsoft.
