Plug and Play White Paper
Compaq is leading PC manufacturers in solving the last hurdle of difficulty for PC owners — feeling comfortable about, and successfully modifying their system’s hardware.
This White Paper includes new information about Compaq's current status in Plug and Play development and implementation, plus an overview of what is in store for the future of Compaq Plug and Play-ready products.
Plug and Play-ready Personal Computers rely generally on three parts; the PC's BIOS (Basic Input/Output Services), Plug and Play-ready peripheral options, and the Microsoft will be able to identify newly added peripheral options and network connections, allocate resources, and automatically re-configure the system set up.
