			PCI PROBE 0.2
		Frederic Potter. 1994 Paris


The purpose of this program is to detect the hardware that is connected 
on the PCI bus. 

It is a loadable module, which uses bios32 to read the configuration 
space of the 31 possible device of the main bus.

You must have modutils installed and PCI support enabled in the kernel. 
Just type make, and "/var/adm/messages" or what ever you called it
contains the result of the probe.

Please, if your hadware is not recognized (which is likely to be the case, 
as for the moment, this program only knows about a dozen of chip), send
me an e-mail, whith the id provided by probepci and the complete references
of your chip (you can find it in the documentation of you PC, or take
a look on your hadware directly.)

If you don't know about the chip, please tell what piece of hardware you
have. i.e. You have a MIRO 10SD, and the program doen't recognize your PCI
video board. You don't know it's a s3-864, so you tell me you have a MIRO 10SD.

Be carefull, when you read the package of a chip, they are several numbers.
One of them is WEEK+YEAR of fabrication. Don't send that as a chip reference....

It may be tough to determine which of the chips on your Mainboard is the 
CPU to PCI bridge. I'll try to get informations on those bridge by another
way. Try to determine the brand of your Mainboard, It can help me anyway.

I think such a program could finish as part of the standard kernel.

Many thanks.

Fred.
