See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Yes it does, amazingly. Win95 will assume the role of PnP manager if your system does not have a PnP BIOS. This is actually advantageous, because BIOS authors haven't gotten the idea down pat yet. Early Award BIOSes, for example, don't work with SB16 PnP boards, or boards with Crystal's CS4232 sound chipset, because these devices have multiple resource needs that these BIOSes can't handle. Other bugs include locating PnP network boards on top of Joystick ports. Whose BIOS does work, then? If you have a board with Intel's Triton chipset, visit www.mrbios.com. Try to get a non-PnP BIOS for your MB if you have troubles. Phoenix and Intel worked pretty close together to straighten it out. AMI's pretty good with modern boards. For Award, get a newer BIOS from your PC's manufacturer. User Contributions:Top Document: Win95 FAQ Part 4 of 14: Hardware Previous Document: 4.1. Device Manager basics Next Document: 4.3.
