Windows 95 Drivers

and Installation Guide

Quick Install

Windows 95 should automatically recognize and support your SCSI controller and
Plextor CD-ROM drive. Microsoft has included a generic CD-ROM device driver in
the operating system. They have also included numerous controller specific drivers
on the Windows 95 CD-ROM. If you connect your Plextor drive to a previously
installed and operating SCSI controller, Windows 95 will recognize the new controller
and ask you to insert the Windows 95 CD-ROM so it can obtain the necessary file. If
you purchased your SCSI controller in a Plextor kit, you can use either the Windows
95 CD or the Plextor Manager floppy disk to provide the necessary file. If you
purchased your new SCSI controller from another source, you must use the Windows
95 CD. If Windows 95 does not have the necessary file, you will need to use software
provided by the manufacturer of the SCSI controller. If you encounter any problems,
we suggest you read the following detailed instructions.

Detailed Instructions

If the Quick Install description above does not work, this section will tell you a little
about the Windows 95 operating system, help you figure out what your current system
configuration is, and then walk you through the installation. If you are lucky, this
process will be close to ‘‘Plug and Play’’. Either way, don’t worry. You will soon be
using the highest performance CD-ROM drive around. If you have any problems at
all, our technical support staff will help you out. They can be reached toll-free at
800-886-3935.

Microsoft has incorporated ‘‘Plug and Play’’ software into Windows 95. Theoretically,
this enables true Plug and Play peripherals, such as your Plextor CD-ROM drive, to
configure themselves automatically after installation. You have been hearing about
Plug and Play for a long time now from everyone and their brother. The reality: Anyone
telling you their product was Plug and Play prior to August 24, 1995 (the Windows
95 release date) was pulling your leg. The unfortunate thing is that even now things
are not quite as automatic as they should be. That’s all right though----Plextor will make
it work for you.

For a true Plug and Play experience while installing a SCSI peripheral many things are
required. Your system must have Plug and Play BIOS available either on the mother-
board or on a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) SCSI controller. All PCI
controllers have this capability. Your controller itself must also have its own Plug and
