摘要

A computer system with an advanced power management which includes a PnP compatible operating system, an ISA bus, and a system BIOS for searching a read data port for all PnP ISA devices, which is used to read information from the PnP ISA devices. The computer system is able to save and restore the resource configuration information of the PnP ISA devices into/from a non-volatile storage by use of the searched read data port during a suspend/resume mode of the advanced power management.
