ABSTRACT:
A firmware selector is provided for a computer that includes a processor. The selector receives the identity of the processor, and in response to the identity, causes the processor to access firmware that corresponds to the processor. Because such a selector can automatically direct the processor to the appropriate firmware when the computer stores multiple firmware, the selector allows a customer to change the processor without requiring him to change the firmware memory or the board on which the firmware memory resides.
