Hi,

I was wondering if there is a program that will probe through an entire 
system and return all the hardware it can find?  Is there a way to do 
this without having a driver for the hardware in the kernel?  I have an 
IDE cdrom and I cannot figure out the correct address for the IDE card on 
the motherboard.  and I would also like to know what type of video 
capture board is in the computer, which is impossible to tell from 
looking at it.  Thanks!


Dan
