IBM PC330/PC350 - "Other Devices" displays "?" in Windows 95
Applicable to: World-Wide
Text :
IBM PC 300 Series 6577 & 6587 systems may display a "?" in the "Other Devices" field of the Windows 95 Device Manager screen.
Select the "My Computer" folder from the Windows 95 desktop, then click on "Control Panel." From the Control Panel, select the "System" icon." Click on the "Device Manager" tab to display a list of the systems hardware detail. A "?" will appear next to the "Other Devices" entry.
The "?" appears because the PC 300 6577/6587 PCI chipset contains a Universal System Bus (USB) module. Windows 95 is capable of recognizing the PCI chipset, but cannot install device drivers for the USB. USB was introduced to market after the release of Windows 95. Because of this, Windows95 displays a "?" next to "Other Devices" just to inform the user that the PCI hardware is recognized, but device drivers for the USB module cannot be installed.
Do not replace hardware in the PC 300. This is not a hardware malfunction or resource conflict. Support for the USB module in Windows 95 should be available from Microsoft in 1997.
