Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0
The CD-ROM for the Windows 95 titles include the AUTO RUN feature. This

Windows 95 will start the opening screen automatically. You can add the
program, browse content of the CD, etc. from this screen.

Hot Insert/Remove the PCMCIA interface card
The PCMCIA interface specification define that you may hot insert/remove
the PCMCIA interface card, which means to insert, remove or exchange the
card from your system at any time without rebooting or turning off your
system.
However, for any given system, the PCMCIA CD-ROM, being a storage
device itself, can not be hot removed when it is in use by a program. To avoid
some sort of system failure, read the following carefully before using hot-
removing technology.
DOS/Windows 3.X
The hot insert/remove the PCMCIA CD-ROM function is supported ONLY
when your computer is loaded with PCMCIA software which is ExCA
compliant. If your system doesn’t have such software, it is necessary to
connect the PCMCIA CD-ROM first before your computer is being booted. Do
not hot remove the card when the CD-ROM is accessing the data particularly
in OS/2 system.
