Plug and Play is an industry-standard specification that enables you to add to your
computer certain devices, which, after you restart your computer system, are auto-
matically detected and configured for use with your system. A Plug and Play device
requires an operating system that has Plug and Play technology implemented, such as
Windows 98. Examples of Plug and Play devices are a mouse, joystick, and USB
speakers. To ensure that a device is Plug and Play-compatible, refer to the manufac-
turer’s documentation that came with the device.
