Peripheral Setup
In the Windows 98 environment, most device management is controlled through the Windows
device manager. Use the Windows device manager to enable and disable devices on your NEC
Versa FX system.
The Peripheral Setup menu displays the connection locations between the system and the
Input/Output (I/O) ports and lets you specify different port assignments as needed.
