Windows 9x Plug and Play

Introduction

LayGO device drivers for PCI boards and PCMCIA cards support Windows Plug and Play installation under Windows 9x. This eliminates manual configuration of hardware parameters in most cases. The files required for installation are located in the LayGO drv directory:

• LAYGO32x.VXD
• LAYGO32x.REG
• LAYGO32x.INF

Plug and Play installation requires 3 steps

1. Initialize the Registry. In Windows explorer, just double-click the LAYGO32x.REG file. The regedit utility will be invoked to add the entries to the Registry.
2. Install the hardware:
   • For PCI boards, shutdown the computer, install the board and reboot.
   • For PCMCIA cards, just insert the card in a PC card socket.
3. Install the driver. Windows should detect that new hardware has been added to the system and automatically begin the installation process.
