S12·E6 Plug and Play
Synopsis
Adding peripherals used to be a nightmare with a PC, having to manually figure out all kinds of settings and switches.

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
