<p>A Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) (100) includes a management (105) and driver module (101) adapted to accomplish editing functions for the BIOS (100). Plug-in modules (103) are added to the BIOS (100) by submitting the plug-ins (103) to the driver module (101), which determines compatibility and available space for adding, and acts accordingly, adding a candidate module (113) to the BIOS (100) if space is available and the plug-in module (103) is determined to be compatible with the BIOS (100) and the driver module (101). Plug-ins (103) can also be removed by action of the driver module (101), which also performs management functions in identifying and initializing resident plug-in modules (103).</p> |
