Oh no!  God how hardware ages!

I suppose not being PCI 2.1 compliant could easily cause the probe to
incorrectly determine the type of card.

Is there a program (BSD or DOS) that can test PCI 2.1 compliance on a
motherboard?

If I were to buy a Pentium MB now, can I be reasonably certain that
something with a VX or FX chipset is indeed PCI 2.1 comliant?

Thanks!
