Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computer system of improved operability. SOLUTION: A primary display area and a secondary display area are displayed on a computer screen. The primary display area and the secondary display area have respectively selectable objects which are movable in each display area by the predetermined operation. The secondary display area is displayed while concealing at least a part of the primary display area, and the displayed secondary display area is not concealed by others.

Abstract: A method for automatically determining the configuration of resources on a computer system at the time the computer system is started. The method involves placing a configuration readonly-memory (ROM) on each add-on card placed in the computer system. The configuration ROM contains information such as the card type and identification number, byte lanes used, location of device drivers, the device driver code, etc. The configuration ROM has a format header which is at one of a set of determinable addresses in the computer systems address space. The configuration header contains a field with the offset to a resource directory. The resource directory, in turn, contains a set of entries of resource lists and offsets to those resource lists. Each resource list contains a resource type and other information as required to configure the computer system. A process for reading the format header, resource directory, and resource lists is described.

Abstract: A method for automatically determining the configuration of resources on a computer system at the time the computer system is started involves placing a configuration read-only-memory (ROM) on each add-on card placed in the computer system. The ROM contains information such as the card type and identification number, byte lanes used, location of device drivers, the device driver code, etc. The ROM has a format header 29 which is at one of a set of determinable addresses in the computer system's address space. The header contains a field with the offset to a resource directory 50. The resource directory, in turn, contains a set of entries 51 of resource lists and offsets 52 to those resource lists. Each resource list 60 contains a resource type 63 and other information 62 as required to configure the computer system. A process for reading the format header, resource directory, and resource lists is described.
