There are two Mwave Modem/Audio adapters supported in Windows 98. They are the StingRay and Dolphin adapters. You can determine which device you have by looking in the MWAVE.INI file.
When viewing the file, locate the line containing the text mwave, board
The very next line contains the string "mwat-XXX", where XXX is a number.

The StingRay adapter is a Plug and Play device that is detected during Setup; you do not need to do anything else.
