Even having the bus type displayed in the description string, perhaps in a different text attribute, would be enough. So you'd see: bt0 Buslogic SCSI controller [PCI] bt0 Buslogic SCSI controller [ISA/EISA/VLB] And *only* if the machine in question even had a PCI bus. I can't see any reason to show the PCI entries on my 486/EISA test machine. :-) Jordan
