ABSTRACT:
A technique for dynamic addition or removal of buses to a computer system. The technique operates even though the computer system and its operating system are in use. As buses are added or removed from the operational computer system for each peripheral device added or removed, bus controller manipulators for each of the buses are registered with a system bus manager of the operating system. Thereafter, the operating system is able to communicate with the peripheral devices over the corresponding buses using the respective bus controller manipulators.
