The board is compliant with Microsoft PC 95 revised / PC 96. It has a full

 

duplex codec, and supports a volume control on the front panel.

Drivers

Drivers for the audio board, working with the Windows NT operating system,

 

are supplied with the computer. These are required since the board is Plug-

 

and-Play, but the operating system is not. It is the user’s responsibility to

 

avoid conflicts with other devices using the same resources (such as IRQ,

 

DMA and I/O lines). The user can use the configuration manager to change

 

the board settings, choosing either the default configuration, or changes to

 

any of the parameters.

 

Windows for Workgroups 3.11 drivers rely on ICU and its configuration

 

manager, which must be installed. Windows 95 is a true Plug-and-Play

 

operating system, and does not need such drivers.
