Abstract
A method and system for associating and selecting a set of I/O components as a source or destination of I/O data directed to or from an application. A set of I/O components are modeled as a component object model which becomes a generic access device (GAD) for those components. Relevant interfaces to the components are instantiated within the GAD. The GAD then hands out the interfaces to applications wishing to access the I/O devices modeled by the GAD. The application is thereby enabled to carry out meaningful communication with the I/O devices to which the GAD provided interfaces.
