ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system and method for validating system address space for adapter cards having an information structure of a predefined format. Validation is accomplished by verifying the predefined format of the information structure via a memory window. Because verification is conducted via a memory window, it is only successful when the address space of the memory window is free of control by other components of the computer that would otherwise have interfered with verification. Thus, only a memory window that is suitable for adapter card allocation is validated.
