PSC Windows 98SE Installation Notes
Installing a Philips Sound card (PSC 604 or 605) in a system that has Windows
98SE may require that a 98SE installation CD be inserted into a CD drive during
the sound card installation. This is a normal process required by the OS for the
purpose of loading additional sound processing files.
It is recommended that a Windows 98SE installation CD be made available
before installing a PSC. However if a 98SE install CD is not available an
alternate installation method is available. This method will allow the PSC to

a Windows 98SE installation CD is available to install the Game Port driver.
