What a lousy name "Plug-and-Play" is <sigh>
I'm working on a HARDWARE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM that just happens to encompass Intel/Microsoft/et al. Plug-and-Play. It also encompasses PCI, EISA, PCMCIA, and even MCA (if anybody wants to do it).
In fact, it applies to every platform - except for those with hardware (no software of any kind) management.
