RE: Subsystem Vendor and Device IDs

	From: ingvar_berg@x400.icl.co.uk

	most OSes prefer to bypass BIOS and access the HW directly.

	Speaking of devices on the motherboard, how comes that Win95 can't
	understand that devices in "slot 0" are on the mb, and don't need the
	Subsystem IDs?

Huh? Why would where the device lives make any difference as far as whether
something 'needs' a Subsystem ID? That's an O/S requirement not anything
to do with hardware...

As far as slot 0 goes, the only reliable way to get slot in PCI2.1 is via
the
buggy IRQ ROUTING BIOS call. Perhaps Win '95 isn't doing this? Many
BIOSen have this call implemented incorrectly.
