The Windows 98/SE installation CD includes the Agere 1394 OHCI driver, so you do
not need an installation CD or diskette. After the installation has finished and the
computer has rebooted, you may connect 1394/FireWire devices to it.
The first time you hot-plug a 1394 device into one of the host adapter ports, you will be

insert the CD to add additional 1394 devices; they should automatically appear in the
Device Manager after they are connected.

adapter ports.
