The USB function under Windows
What does USB stand for?
USB stands for “Universal Serial Bus“ and defines a new interface standard which is
clearly more convenient for the PC user.  This increased convenience concerns the con-
nection and configuration of peripheral devices.  Up to 127 peripherals such as keyboard,
mouse, modem removable drives and digital cameras for videoconferencing can be con-
nected to a USB system.  With USB, each peripheral device is configured automatically. 
The USB standard defines an uniform connector type, making special cables, proprietary
connectors and interfaces and special installation software unnecessary. This eliminates
the all-too-familiar cable spaghetti that can result and the risk of hardware damage due
to an incorrect connection.  The fact that all the devices can be connected to each
other—similar to a network—is also a great advantage.  It means a high degree of flex-
ibility when planning the layout of the devices: Not all peripheral devices have to be con-
nected centrally to the computer.
Who can use USB?
The USB function is available to you if your hardware and operating system support USB.
In this case, it is the Windows system that checks the hardware, sets up the USB and
controls the attached devices.
USB support is already integrated in Windows  98.  This may be different with older ver-
sions of Windows 95, as not all versions support USB.
