ABSTRACT:
A circuit board is capable of indicating whether it is located in an 8 bit slot and is capable of operating on an 8 bit or 16 bit wide data path. The user can indicate the desired operating data width. Based on determinations of slot size, desired operating width and the presence of other 8 or 16 bit devices, the operating data path width is automatically set. Warnings are given for selected operating conditions.
