USB automatically determines resources (like driver software andbus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources available without userintervention.USB eliminates "case anxiety" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-onperipherals. USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when installingnew peripherals.USB does away with "port gridlock."
