Hard-to-find PnP documents

Post by Sergio »

Somebody have the Device Identifier Reference Table and Device Type Code Table? Plug and Play BIOS specification 1.0a says to browse the CompuServer PnP forum (what the hell is that?).
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you are not looking for PCI devices and Class codes? Supporting plug-and-play ISA is not necessary for most people, and you're not telling us what you are trying to achieve.

This might be what you're looking for (device type codes are at the very end):

Well, I pretty much understand modern (even 'old') PC's don't have ISA PnP devices, they even lack ISA bus and implement legacy IO through LPC and Super IO chips. I already have the code probing for PCI devices, identify them and store them in appropriate structures; that means I don't use any interface from the BIOS (ACPI tables...). I started reading about PnP BIOS and PnP ISA. Although I have an LPC device at PCI that implements legacy, the BIOS interface for PnP identifies 2 devices: PNP0000 and PNP0100. I think they correspond to the master 8259 and the keyboard, respectively, but through these codes I can be sure about it. I'm not doing anything further with the implementation of PnP BIOS, just get the devices information and display it, but would like to, eventually, try and implement a PnP driver for old hardware.
