ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for assigning memory space addresses of a computer, for example, a personal computer (PC), to memory contained on computer interface boards interfaced to the computer wherein the computer controls the memory space addresses assigned and wherein multiple computer interface boards can be assigned to the same memory space addresses. An embodiment of the inventive method includes the steps of: (a) setting a computer interface board identification at the computer interface board; (b) causing the computer to transmit a predetermined pattern of data and other data from which the computer interface board identification can be derived to predetermined addresses of memory space in the computer, which addresses are assigned to memory contained on the computer interface board; and (c) at the computer interface board, determining addresses assigned to the memory contained on the computer interface board from information received from the computer as a result of the step of causing the computer to transmit.
