base address and limit






Hello everybody,

1) Do'es anyone know how do'es a PCI system configure
   the device's base address? Is it true to assumt that 
   the PCI BIOS is taking care of it at initialization
   proccess and a device driver need only to read the 
   value in the base address register (address 10h in
   configuration space)?

2) Why isn't there any limit register in the PCI spec?
   How can you tell the amount of memory space required 
   for a device ?


Thanks in advance,
