Luiz,
I use a Nemesis Nitrox with a standard analog pressure guage on my second HP 
port. The PC compatibility is excellent for download, and the programibility 
of mix is essential for your dives in the 140 foot range. I'm not going to 
recommend 170 foot nitrox mixes, but a normal air setting will work fine 
without too much narcosis for a non-cave diving scenario. 
As far as Windows 95, you shut down win 95 and pick dos as one of four 
choices on exiting. Then you can run any dos program. You may have to 
re-boot before coming back to Win 95.

There is a minus side to the Nemesis....there is a "magic" zone you need to 
position the tank unit (computer brains/transducer) in for transmission to 
the dumb terminal/wrist unit, in order for the display to work. Placing it 
in the wrong location can cause the display to blank out, or the wrist unit 
to hold on to the last reading for too long before displaying a current 
reading (but you may not be aware of this at the time). The solution is 
spending time positioning the unit perfectly to your normal hand positions. 
While this seems to be a major negative, the tremendous power and 
flexibility of the Nemesis is far beyond the other computers.
