ABSTRACT:
An input/output adapter card for a standard bus in a computer system is disclosed that includes a nonvolatile memory that stores a plug and play identifier, a set of resource data, and a mode indication. The mode indication is programmed by an installation routine for the input/output adapter card to specify whether the input/output adapter card is plug and play compliant. The input/output adapter card accesses the mode indication and "plays" a configuration record from the nonvolatile memory to the configuration registers if the mode indication specifies that the computer system is not plug and play compliant. The configuration record mimics configuration writes to the configuration registers by a plug and play compliant computer system.
