3 Windows 95/98 Installation
Windows 95/98 maintains a registry of all known hardware installed in your
computer. Inside this hardware registry Windows keeps track of all of your system
resources, such as I/O locations, IRQ levels, and DMA channels. The "Add New
Hardware Wizard" utility was designed to add new hardware and update this registry.
An "INF" configuration file is included with the MPAC-100 to allow easy
configuration in the Windows 95/98 environment. Windows uses the "INF" file to
determine the system resources required by the MPAC-100, searches for available
resources to fill the boards requirements, and then updates the hardware registry with
an entry that allocates these resources. The Syncdrive DLL and VxD can then be used
to access the card.
3.1 Using the "Add New Hardware" Wizard
The following instructions provide step-by-step instructions on installing the
MPAC-100 in Windows 98 using the "Add New Hardware" wizard. Windows 95 uses a
similar process to load the INF file from a CD with slightly different dialog boxes.
1. After inserting an MPAC-100 for the first time, the "Add New Hardware" wizard
will start. Click the "Next" button.
2. Click the "Next" button. Select the radio button for "Search for the best driver for
your device." Click the "Next" button to continue.
