7395.0. "Disable the device in Windows95 to free up resources" by KEIKI::WHITE (MIN(2�,FWIW)) Tue Mar 25 1997 21:09

    
    	In my experience you can't just disable something in the BIOS and
    expect WIN95 not to see it.
    
    	You must let windows95 take the bait, i.e. configure the device
    as it normally would, then once you have the hook sunk deep, disable 
    the device in the device manager. (Uncheck the current configuration
    checkmark on the general page, of the device in question).
    
    	This will then free up the resources windows95 allocates to that
    device across reboots.
