PC Design Guide Library
The PC Design Guides and white papers provided here are for
engineers who build personal computers, expansion cards and
peripheral devices that will be used with Microsoft® Windows® 95,
Windows 98, Windows NT® version 4.0, Windows 2000,
and the next version of the Windows operating system, code-named
"Whistler."
The goal for these documents is to provide hardware design
guidelines that will result in the optimal user experience when
the hardware is used with the Windows family of operating
systems.
