Re: slot number in Desk-top

["Alexander Bezrukov" <alb_@pisem.net>]

Hello Dinesh,

there exists no generic way to determine the slot which a device
is inserted into. It is possible to get a list of device numbers
(one for each device) by VendorID/DeviceID informatoin
and there is a correspondence between device numbers and
PCI add-on slots but this correspondence is determined only
by a mainboard and can arbitrary differ. In the case of PCI
(in contrast to EISA) the slot number is only marking on the
mainboard's surface, not more.

Regards,
Alexander
