Plug-and-Play, sometimes called PnP, is a feature that many people take for granted - it is a system that attempts to detect what hardware is there upon connection and finds a way to communicate with it to make it work with the computer system. A BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is software embedded on a chip that is responsible for starting the computer and booting an operating system.

Are plug and play devices assigned resources by the bios or operating system explain how please?

BIOS has it's own set of basic I\O drivers, for example, for keyboard and monitor, sometimes the mouse as well depending on the BIOS. Once the OS is loaded, it loads it's own drivers for these devices.


Updating the bios manually necessary for installation for memory?

No. Installing new components in a PC rarely, if ever, requires a BIOS update. RAM or memory especially is very much a "plug and play" component. Just turn off your computer, install the new memory, turn it back on and it will be automatically recognised.


How do you use PS emulator?

First you have to download the emulator itself, I'd recommend EPSXE, it works well for me. Second you need a BIOS (you need to have a PS1 to legally get one), a video plug-in, and a sound plug-in. Last you need either game disks or ISO files of the games you want to play.

Is plug and play hyphenated?

The term "plug and play" is typically not hyphenated when used as a noun or an adjective in most contexts. However, when used as a compound adjective before a noun, it can be hyphenated as "plug-and-play." For example, you would say "The device is plug and play" but "It’s a plug-and-play device."
