[ARFORUM] How to determine the PCI Version

Yohan, 

as far as I know, most motherboards, made after 1998, support the PCI bus 2.1 specification. 

For Windows 98, here is the procedure of how to find out if the system supports PCI 2.1 
(info from the Iomega web site http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/80006.html ) 

in my computer / properties / device manager / system devices / pci-bus: 
if you see a tab "IRQ steering", then it is PCI 2.1 compliant. 

Under Win2k, I don't know how to determine this...  on my Win2k PC there is no IRQ steering tab.

Dear all, 

I would like to buy a FireWire PCI host card to start to use FireWire cameras 
with system which is not shipped with firewire ports. It is my understanding that 
the FireWire PCI card will work only on system with PCI version 2.1 and above. 

1) can you confirm this restriction 
2) how can I determine the PCI version -> I tried System Analyzer but it does not 
    determine PCI version with Win2k 

thanks 

Yohan

A year ago I went out and bought a very cheap no name firewire card (there are lots to chose from) and plugged it into a pretty old P2-333 machine and it worked no problems. Windows 98 and XP detected it just fine, so I don't think there should be any problems with PCI revisions unless the card is a very special and expensive one with some kind of bizarre features or drivers. regards, Wayne ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wayne Piekarski - PhD Student / Lecturer Phone: +61-8-8302-3669 Advanced Computing Research Centre Fax: +61-8-8302-3381 University of South Australia Mobile: 0407-395-889 Internet: wayne@c ..............
