5.4 Windows 1995

Windows 95 maintains a registry of all known hardware installed in your computer. Inside this hardware registry Windows 95 keeps track of all of your system resources, such as I/O locations, IRQ levels, and DMA channels. The "Add New Hardware Wizard" utility in Windows 95 was designed to add new hardware and update this registry.

An "INF" configuration file is included with the DSC-100 to allow easy configuration in the Windows 95 environment. Also a custom Windows 95 serial device driver is included with the DSC-100 to support the use of the 16750 UART's 64 byte FIFO. Windows 95 uses the "INF" file to determine the system resources required by the DSC-100, searches for available resources to fill the boards requirements, and then updates the hardware registry with an entry that allocates these resources

The following instructions provide step-by-step instructions on installing the DSC-100 in Windows 95 using the "New Hardware Found" wizard.
