Plug and Play is an industry-standard specification that enables you to add certain devices
to your computer, which, after you restart your computer, are automatically detected and
configured for use with your computer. A Plug and Play device requires an operating sys-
tem that has Plug and Play technology implemented, such as Windows 98. Examples of
Plug and Play devices are a mouse, joystick, USB speakers, and Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) expansion cards. To ensure that a device is Plug and Play-compatible,
see the manufacturer’s documentation that came with the device.
