Windows 98 Driver Installation
1. Select “Add New Hardware” from the Control Panel. Press the “Next>”
button.
2. Click “Next>” again.
3. The system will now search for Plug and Play hardware.
4. If Windows does find a device, it will not be the PORTMAN 2X4 (it is
not PnP). If this is the case, click on “No, the device isn’t in the list.”

Port/IRQ” checkbox will make “non-standard” IRQs available for dri-
