If you have not changed the cabling inside your computer, the IDE drives in your computer are set appropriately.

Notes:

When you have completed these instructions, there are two areas of conflict:

1. In Device Manager under Ports, Generic IRDA Compatible Device is listed with a ! beside it. A special driver from Microsoft is required to configure this device. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/info/legacy.htm and search for device drivers updates or call Microsoft at 1-800-426-9400.

2. In Device Manager under Other, PCI Card is listed. This listing is actually the integrated Universal Serial Bus device provided with your computer which is not supported by the retail version of Windows 95 that you installed. Although it shows as an area of conflict, it does not interfere with the operation of your system.

This concludes the installation.
