Abstract
A method for enabling traditional SCSI peripheral equipment to be compatible with a PLUG-AND-PLAY protocol comprising steps of: selecting an SCSI peripheral device as an object and assigning a predetermined identification number to the selected SCSI peripheral device; periodically detecting the signal status on an SCSI bus so as to change a specific signal level to thus communicate with a host computer which determines whether the assigned identification number is permitted; and delaying a time period during the detection of the signal status on the SCSI bus when the permission to assign an identification number has not been determined, and abandoning the assigned identification number when the same identification number has been found to be used by another SCSI peripheral device.
