Thanks for the comment Ethan.
Unfortunately I don't think I'd be able to provide this GUI controller in W95.
I used an app called Ctrlr from
http://ctrlr.org/to build it.
The app is a full editor/custom controller builder. The version you see is a standalone version that the editor allows me to export from it.. that way it is locked from being altered.
When I get around to finishing it up, I will provide the standalone version and the full editor version I used to build it and the raw file for the editor... that way other people can tweak it the way they want it or to peek inside it to see how I made it.
I may also figure out a VST version as well.. but right now it's challenging enough to make the version you have seen built so far.
The editor is actually a LUA script based app. The hardest parts for me to do so far was to make the graphical ADBSSR EG and even more so, the patch dump request that sets all the knobs/switches and drop down menu's.. which is not fully completed yet.. it takes time to convert hex values from the dump to 0-127 or other values that Ctrlr uses.. (the HAWK patch dump values are the values you see in it's display, but it responds to a MIDI sysex controller as 0-127 values and such..)
I kinda ran out of steam after awhile, but all the knobs on the mock up synth, the dropdown menus at the top and the EG's all will auto set each time you select a patch via the GUI.
The lowermost parameters like Resonance and DCO modulation have not been activated to respond to a patch dump yet.
Really sorry I can't help you with the W95 port. :( I saw your synth awhile back and thought it was pretty cool though. :).

I would love to be able to use this interface with the computer inside the keyboard; however, the computer is quite old. It's running Windows 95, has 16MB of ram, Pentium 75MHz processor and has a screen resolution of 640 x 480.

If you could I would be very grateful and post a video with the interface on youtube. You could also send me the source code and I could try to modify the program if you're okay with that.
