6.5.9 Plug and Play
It is a standard that makes adding hardware device to a PC fairly easy. Plug and Play is a
way for Windows 98 to setup new hardware for the computer with little or no human
intervention. After simply plugging in the latest hardware, Windows 98 interviews it,
checking to see what special settings it needs, and then Windows 98 automatically flips the
right switches.
To install new devices, there is an Add New Hardware Wizard. To start this Wizard, Click
on the Start button and choose Settings >> Control Panel >> Add New Hardware. The wizard
starts and Windows 98 installs the new device by asking some questions.
There may be some devices that are not plug and play—these are termed as legacy hardware.
This includes hardware devices designed for DOS and Windows 3.x.
