From the Intel LPC spec: (pg 29, pg 37 in the PDF) 11.1 Plug and Play Peripherals on the LPC I/F are assumed to be configured using motherboard or ACPI configuration techniques rather than PCI or ISA plug-n-play protocols. One method is to have a fixed configuration space, such as an index and data register, that can be used to program various parameters for the peripheral. To avoid conflicts, the peripheral should use I/O locations typically reserved for motherboard devices (such as 0000h-00FFh). So it's not PnP that we should be looking at, but ACPI... Oh well, I guess it's another new technology to learn. :-) However, PnP _may_ be able to be done as an interim measure... (From further down that page) Note 1: 279h is Read-Only. Writes to 279h are forwarded to ISA for PnP. -- =========================================================== Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 4th year B.SEng student, ANU (Student Number s3160518) The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
