ABSTRACT:
Configuration data indicative of interface requirements for interfacing to a host adapter card are automatically serially loaded on reset from an external device on the card into a host adapter integrated circuit on the card. A driver program can then read the configuration data from the host adapter integrated circuit and thereby determine how to interface with the host adapter card.
