Abstract: The present invention provides a computer system for operation with a plurality of optional system consoles. A first non-volatile memory means stores present system configuration data. The present system configuration data is representative of the type of system console connected to the system. A diagnostic module accesses this configuration data for determining the operational validity of the system based upon a predetermined system configuration. The diagnostic module compares the present configuration data to the predetermined configuration. Based upon the comparison the diagnostic module modifies the operation of the system to communicate with the type of sytem console connected to the system.
