ABSTRACT:
Methods, peripheral devices, and computer program products are provided for loading I/O device drivers from a peripheral device to a data processing system. First device identification information is communicated from the peripheral device to the data processing system. The first device identification information corresponds to a first I/O device driver in the data processing system. A second I/O device driver is communicated from the peripheral device to the data processing system using the first I/O device driver in the data processing system. Second device identification information is communicated from the peripheral device to the data processing system. The second device identification information corresponds to the second I/O device driver.
