Default Plug and Play Download Needed

Windows is Plug and Play Software.


Oh really?

What exactly does Windows-98 plug into?

If I have win-98, and want to play with it, what do I plug it into so
that I can play with it?

Admit it Gary. You were wrong.

Someone asking for a "plug and play download" isin't asking for a
download link for Windows-98.

It was advertised as such ad absurdum.


So when the OP is asking for a download source for a PnP OS, he's
doing so because he remembers that win-9x was advertized 10+ years ago
as implimenting PnP support?

Isin't that a crazy way to ask "where can I download Windows 98" - if
indeed that's what he wants?

IIRC, it was on the freakin' cover of Windows 95, at least.
Whether or not it makes LOGICAL sense is irrelevant.
End of story.


No, it's not the end of the story.

Of course it doesn't make sense, because your interpretation of his
request is wrong.

He was not asking where he can obtain Windows-98 via download.

He's asking where he can get PnP drivers for his "new hardware".
Probably a USB device of some sort.

That makes more sense, vs your interpretation of his post.
