Welcome
to the Decision PCCOM PCI cards series. This series enables you to
utilize the built in plug and play functionality of Windows 95/98,

time.
- Unplug your PC, open it and install one Decision PCCOM PCI
card.

- Windows 95/98 will detect the new PCI card that is
installed in your computer, and will prompt you for a proper driver.
- Insert the device driver CD into your computer, and make
sure Windows 95/98 finds the drivers by eventually browsing through the
directory structure of the CD.

Windows 95/98 will detect and install software for each COM port on the
card. This may take 5 to 10 seconds per port.

you may begin using the PCI card. To verify that the installation
process completed successfully, please proceed into the Control Panel /
System / Device Manager.
