Method for initializing and actuating a peripheral and device for performing the method

An mainframe with initialization and actuation codes of initializing and actuating peripherals comprising:

• a mainframe;
• a CPU (central processing unit) in the mainframe;
• a memory for storing type numbers;
• initialization codes and actuation codes for various peripherals;
• the memory being connected to the CPU;
• wherein for the peripherals with initialization and actuation codes recorded in the memory, the type number is also recorded for identifying a peripheral with that type number;
• an I/O (input/output device) device for inputting the initialization codes and actuation codes to the memory of the mainframe;
• the I/O device being connected to CPU;
• wherein initialization and actuation codes can be input to the CPU through the I/O device so that the memory can record the initialization and actuation code of that peripheral device;
• and for the peripheral recorded with the initialization and actuation codes in the memory thereof, while the memory of the CPU has no the initialization and actuation code about the peripherals, then the I/O device inputs the initialization and actuation code from the peripherals;
• the peripherals will call the initialization and actuation codes from the memories thereof. The operation is like that used in the prior art.
