Subject: Tickler on PCI PM spec
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The PCI Power Management Spec (.99a) is posted on the PCI SIG 
     Webpage and is available for download, review, and comment. This 
     will be the last revision before the official draft version is 
     approved by the  Steering Committee for distribution to the 
     entire PCI SIG membership for their formal review. The PCI power 
     management spec. describes the changes required for the PCI bus 
     and its plug-in devices to comply with the more global ACPI 
     specification for desktop computer systems.  
     
     Besides the new stand alone PCI PM specification, the PCI 2.1 
     Local Bus Spec will have two changes to support power 
     management--use of a previously unassigned pin for wake-up PME#, 
     and expansion of the configuration registers for new capabilities 
     (i.e., power management).
     
     I would like to thank the PCI SIG workgroup team members
     
        Gary Solomom, Chairman (Intel)
        Bruce Young (Gateway)
        Ken Stufflebeam (Compaq)
        Andy Rawson (IBM)
        Brian Belmont (Texas Instruments)
        Mike Kosco (Adeptec)
     
     for their outstanding effort in developing the power management 
     specification. This engineering team of volunteers has made the 
     most significant change to the PCI specification since the PCI 
     local bus 2.0 revisions. Future capabilities, like Desk Top 
     Management (DTM) and Hot Plug will be "enabled" by the changes 
     made by the PM specification. 
     
          
     Warren Questo
     Chairman PCI SIG
