ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for connecting a peripheral device to a computer is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a detection means on each peripheral input/output port for detecting a peripheral device. The detection means generates a system interrupt to the computer. The computer executes an interrupt service routine of the basic input/output system. The interrupt service routine determines the peripheral device that is newly connected and sets related flags and data for the computer operating system and basic input/output system. The optimal parameters for integrating the peripheral device to the computer is set and the peripheral device is ready for use.
