1.6 USB Functionality Using Windows 98 SE on a
Panel PC 670
Observe the following when using USB components with Windows 98 SE:
• parallel use of several USB devices,
• unplugging and plugging USB devices during operation and
•
logging on new, unknown USB devices can restrict the Plug-and-Play
capability
and, thus, affect the reliable operation of the entire system.
More information on the specific behavior of individual USB devices is provided
in the respective manufacturer's documentation and on the Microsoft support
pages for Windows 98 SE (e.g. http://support.microsoft.com).
Microsoft operating systems Windows 2000 and Windows XP provide an
optimum, stable support for USB technology.
Note
Check whether new driver versions or hotfixes for your Panel PC are available
