Power on the system, placing the "TBS Montego II Installation & Driver Disk" in the CD-ROM drive. 2. During the load process, Windows 95/98 should detect the TBS Montego II PCI board and display a message such as "New Hardware Found". If Windows prompts you for the drivers of the "PCI Multimedia Audio Device", then select "Driver Disk Provided by Manufacturer" Select the TBS Montego II CD-ROM's \Win95 directory. Note: Some Windows 95 versions (OSR2) do not show this prompt. Instead, they ask whether to search the diskette and CD-ROM drives for the appropriate drivers. Installed drivers may include TBS Montego II PCI audio, TBS Montego II wavetable, TBS Montego II mixer, DOS modem port, TBS Montego II gameport interface, TBS Montego II MPU401 interface, and TBS Montego II Sound Blaster emulation.
