ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus in a selective call receiver (100) choose and load a software driver program (124) into an external computer (302). The apparatus comprises a data interface (118) for coupling with the external computer (302) and a memory (122) containing pre-programmed data comprising a plurality of executable software driver programs (124). The apparatus further comprises a processor (108) coupled to the memory (122) and to the data interface (118) for controlling interactions between the memory (122) and the data interface (118). The method comprises the steps of: coupling (402) the data interface (118) to the external computer (302); receiving (404) in response a signal comprising an identifier from the external computer (302); accessing (406) the memory (122) to locate a software driver program (124) compatible with the external computer (302) identified by the identifier; and transmitting (412) to the external computer (302) the software driver program (124) in response to locating the software driver program (124).
