For Windows 95** Users
----------------------
This release of BIOS includes Plug and Play resource information for the
IRDA infrared port.  Windows 95 does not currently load any drivers for
this port when it is recognized, so you may encounter problems running
Puma Tranxit or other Windows based IR applications.  To correct this
problem perform the following steps:

1. Boot up the system to Windows 95 desktop.

2. Go to the Device Manager.
   Go to the Ports. "REMOVE" all COM Ports.
   (Do NOT reboot).

3. Go to MSDOS prompt. Go to C:\WINDOWS\INF directory.
   Type EDIT MSPORTS.INF and press ENTER.
   Go to "STD"  section of this file.
   Change the following statement:

   %*PNP0510.DeviceDesc% = NoDrv, *PNP0510   ; IRDA Communications port

     TO:

    %*PNP0510.DeviceDesc% = ComPort, *PNP0510; IRDA Communications port

4. Save the changes and reboot the machine.

5. Verify that the "Ports" in the Device Manager show the following:
    -- Communications Port (COM1)
    -- ECP Printer Port (LPT1)
    -- Generic IRDA Compatible Device (COM2).
