ABSTRACT:
A system for relocating expansion cards within a personal computer is provided that eliminates the need for manually changing the address locations. By examining both the address and the data of I/O accesses, the system provides security against accidental reprogramming of the device. Through the use of this system, both hardware implementation and the time needed to execute the reprogramming operation is minimized.
