Zusammenfassung:DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VERIFYING ADAPTER DESCRIPTION FILE CHOICES A data processing system has a microprocessor for executing programs useful in installing adapters having programmable option select (POS) registers. An adapter description file (ADF) stores a list of possible choices which define system resources usable by the adapter. An adapter description program (ADP) verifies certain of the choices. A configuration program then selects a valid choice and stores it in a non-volatile memory from where it can be read upon subsequent system startups into the POS registers.
