Sorry. I just assumed nobody would even care about this antique. Hope
no one is too annoyed by the self-ack.


+     /* operate on undocumented device */

Can you dump the pci config space or read the pci id of that device?

no, because the Dell BIOS turns it completely off.

+     pci_write_config16(PCI_DEV(0, 0x1f, 0), 0x40, 0x800);


bit 0 is hard wired to 1 so it doesn't matter much I guess.


yes, I'm cloning what they do by watching IO with serialice. They did
not read it and or it in in this one case.

Very cool, I have yet to play with serialice. If your watching IO then how do you know what the PCI regs are doing? If I could use serialice to capture PCI regs, it would solve alot of mysteries....

Or are you just using serialice to capture ACPI read/writes?

lotsa magic bits here. This is a really old part so I'm a little
surprised. Not too much, any more.

Going to have a long delay now while I convert to CAR. Also having a
meeting in 2 weeks that may kill the whole project.


bummer....would you continue it for personal interest?
