CHAPTER 2: Introduction

If you’re using Windows 95 or 98, which supports PnP devices, no external Configuration Utility is needed.

If you’re using MS-DOS or Windows 3.1, then a Configuration Utility can be implemented as an application program. The Configuration Utility of a PnP system is usually supplied by the computer manufacturer. One example of this type of program is the ISA Configuration Utility, or ICU.
