6. Plug and Play Resources
Plug and Play cards return read-only configuration information in two formats. The serial identifier is returned bit-wise by the Plug and Play devices in response to reads from the Serial Isolation register. This information is returned in a serial format to facilitate the Plug and Play device selection algorithm described earlier. Plug and Play cards also provide resource data sequentially a byte at a time in response to reads from the Resource Data register. The resource configuration data completely describes all resource needs and options of the device.
