1. Apparatus for data processing system autoconfiguration, comprising: a system motherboard, including a plurality of data processing system pollable peripheral device slots; at least one device driver module resident on an I/O board, for connecting an associated selected peripheral device to said data processing system via a corresponding motherboard slot and for controlling said peripheral device in accordance with data processing system operation; an identifying header, prefatory to said device driver module and responsive to data processing system peripheral device slot polling to uniquely identify an associated peripheral device to said data processing system; and a data processing system-resident peripheral device table for collating polled peripheral device identity and for establishing a bidirectional information transfer link between said data processing system and said device driver module, whereby said data processing system is automatically configured for coordinated operation with said peripheral device.
