4. Enumerating the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 for use under a Windows 9x DOS
session.

The RocketPort/BroadPort 550 controllers require bus enumeration so that they can be

accessed from a Windows 9x DOS session. The procedure is similar to installing a
Windows 9x driver, and the term ‘driver’ is used however no software is actually

installed (or needs to be at this stage). The controllers are simply made known to Windows
9x..
