232PCC2 Resource Settings in Windows 95/98
Windows 95/98 maintains a registry of all known hardware
installed within the computer. Inside this hardware registry Windows
95/98 keeps track of all of the computer's resources, such as base
I/O addresses, IRQ levels, and DMA channels. In the case of a PC
Card (PCMCIA) type board, Windows 95/98 configures the new
hardware using free resources it finds within the hardware registry,
and updates the registry automatically.
To view and / or edit hardware devices in Windows 95/98 use
the system Device Manager. To access Device Manager double
click on the System icon in the Windows 95 control panel, or click
the My Computer icon on the Win 95/98 desktop with the right
mouse button and select Properties from the pull down menu.
Consult Windows 95/98 on-line help for details on the use of the
Device Manager.
