Windows 95 maintains a registry of all known hardware installed in your computer.
Inside this hardware registry Windows 95 keeps track of all of your system resources, such as I/O
locations, IRQ levels, and DMA channels. The "Add New Hardware Wizard" utility in Windows
95 was designed to add new hardware and update this registry.
An "INF" configuration file is included with the QSC-200/300 to allow easy
configuration in the Windows 95 environment. Also a custom Windows 95 serial device driver
is included with the QSC-200/300 to support the use of the 16750 UART's 64 byte FIFO.
Windows 95 uses the "INF" file to determine the system resources required by the QSC-200/300,
searches for available resources to fill the boards requirements, and then updates the hardware
registry with an entry that allocates these resources.
