There is a listing in linux of all device ids and it is a project to
keep it up to date 
http://pciids.sourceforge.net

Gentoo, Mandrake, and the rest can use that

and something similar is available for usb. This is ISA. NO pnp, and no
interrupt from what I can see. Switches on the boards - we are back that
far. This thing looks like it was designed in the eighties, released
initially in the early nineties, and was going obsolete when the
original owners of this bought it in 1999. The new model replaced it
next year (pci bus, 48 channels per driver card, high spec pc, etc.)

In fact I have relaxed a little, because if I remove the card, it
immediately complains "Pinpoint Hardware not found". It _is_ quick on
the uptake :-). We presume the intermittent fault is not on all 3 driver
cards, so it isn't talking to or listening from the 15V section.

There used to be something like it in Norton's sysinfo..... the _old_
version (6.0). I'll try that, if I still have that...
