- Windows NT version 3.51 does not support Plug and Play devices.
- Support for PnP devices should be in the NT release due at the end of
- the year. The shell update release (NT 4.0) due this spring is not going to
- include PnP support (unless Microsoft changes their plans).
-
- You can use PnP devices under NT 3.51 if PC has a PnP BIOS. The PnP
- BIOS will configure all PnP devices in the system. Since NT 3.51 does not
- support PnP it will not know that any PnP devices were added to the system.
- To add your modem run Control Panel->Ports->Add. Unfortunately the locate
- modem program included with your modem will not run under NT since it uses
- BIOS calls that NT does not support. This means you will need to know where
- the PnP BIOS configued the modem. It will stick it at the first available
- COM port address (COM1 to COM4) and the lowest available IRQ (3, 4, 5, 7, 10,
- 11, 12 or 15).
