3.2 SSP-100 Resource Settings in Windows
Windows maintains a registry of all known hardware installed within the computer.
Inside this hardware registry Windows keeps track of all the computer's resources,
such as base I/O addresses, IRQ levels, and DMA channels. In the case of a PC Card
(PCMCIA) type board, Windows configures the new hardware using free resources it
finds within the hardware registry, and updates the registry automatically.
To view and / or edit hardware devices in Windows use the system Device
Manager. To access Device Manager double click the System icon in the Windows
control panel, or click the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop with the right
mouse button and select Properties from the pull down menu. Consult Windows
on-line help for details on the use of the Device Manager.
