Electronic apparatus comprises at least one sub-assembly, such as a printed circuit board. The sub-assembly includes physically modifiable storage, such as a set of switches or jumper connections, for storing information on the sub-assembly (e.g. type, version number, and modification level). The physically modifiable storage has connections which allow information to be read electronically from the sub-assembly, e.g. by shifting it serially over a shift path. <IMAGE> |
