The present invention provides a program that creates a preliminary map of a multiple bus network used to connect peripheral devices to the central processing unit of an information handling system. This preliminary map is then used by configuration software of the information handling system to locate the peripheral devices in the multiple bus network to configure them. If the physical configuration of the multiple bus network should change in any way the inventive, program can make corresponding changes in the preliminary map without having to rewrite or change the program.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 30, 1994. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 30, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 30, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
