- Yep, it sure is. My Amiga has had auto-configuring of cards for quite a
- while. No IRQ's, address ranges, etc. to mess with.

- What, you say Win 95 now has this feature? Hmmm, well, I do have experience
- assembling PC's, and the term "Plug and Pray" has real meaning here. PnP
- cards that get strange IRQ and address range assignments. I've had to
- manually tell Windows where to "automatically" install most of what gets put
- in them. And even when I do let Win95 do it all itself, what do you know,
- hardware conflicts appear almost magically!
