A. In a limited sense. There is a driver that can be installed that will detect Plug and Play devices, however it is not supported and you will receive no support. To install the driver
On the NT installation CD, goto the DRVLIB/PNPISA/I386 (or whatever you processor)
Right click on the file pnpisa.inf and select install
Reboot the machine
Installing the driver sets the following registry values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicespnpisaEnumType - 0x1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicespnpisaEnumStart - 0x1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicespnpisaEnumErrorControl - 0x0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicespnpisaEnumDisplayName - "Pnp ISA Enabler Driver"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicespnpisaEnumImagePath - "system32DRIVERSpnpisa.sys"
