Device (KBC) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0303")) Name (CRS, ResourceTemplate () { IO (Decode16, 0x0060, 0x0060, 0x10, 0x01) IO (Decode16, 0x0064, 0x0064, 0x04, 0x01) IRQNoFlags () {1} }) Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) { Return (CRS) } } can you clarify your comment a trifle? tnx! johnu > -- > Nate >
