Computer Chronicles
Season 12 Episode 6 - Plug and Play
Adding peripherals used to be a nightmare with a PC, having to manually figure out all kinds of settings and switches. Windows 95 promised to end all that with Plug and Play, though many users called it Plug and Pray. This program looks at the early efforts to simplify adding peripherals. Covered are sound cards, SCSI controllers, video cards, mice, CDROM drives, and PCMCIA cards. Also covered is Plug and Tell, which helped you figure out what settings had to be changed, and Compaq's Hot Docking technology. Originally broadcast in 1994. http://archive.org/details/PlugPlay
