Is anyone looking into Plug&Play?
  It is rather nice to probe the bus and find out all the Plug&Play devices 8)


Here is a contact sorry I forgot his name -- he is the Intel Manager for
Plug & Play: 503-264-3196

We really need to talk to Intel to see if they will release the code
for their configuration manager. 

At any rate ,we will need Plug & Play support unless we are willing to
boot dos to init the Plug&Play devices...
