A computer system uses a read only memory to store computer identifying data. The computer starts by reading the identification number recorded on a bar code and temporarily storing the data in an auxiliary memory of the computer. Then, the computer system loads the basic input/output services instructions from the read only memory and writes the instructions into the random access memory of the computer. After, the identification number, or data, that is stored in the auxiliary memory is stored in the random access memory. Then, the computer erases the data stored in the read only memory that relates to the basic input/out services. Afterwards, the computer stores both the computer identifying information and the data related to the basic input/output services into the read only memory. The stored computer identification data can also be used to provide an exclusive network address.
