See this page for info on how to contribute updates to pcidevs.txt, and info on using it in your own software.

OS/2 users: See this page for a port of PCI to native OS/2. (look for pci047vk.arj). The port isn't written by me, but is based on my code. The port was done by Veit Kannegieser, and by all accounts is very good, as it contains several customisations specific to OS/2 which make reporting more accurate and comprehensive.

Other recommended PCI related software

SIV by Ray Hinchliffe. 'System Information Viewer' is a general Windows utility for dumping lots of useful Windows and hardware info - CPU info, PCI info, USB info, Machine Info, Hardware Sensors, Operating System Information and more. Ray uses my pcidevs.txt file for his PCI device display with usbdevs.txt being used for the USB devices and mondevs.txt for monitor descriptions. SIV is designed for Windows XP/2K/NT4/.NET, but also gives a subset of info under the Windows 9x series of OS's. NEW: Updated to Version 2.09, 10-Dec-2003 Monitor descriptions added, Windows Longhorn now reported, Dual/Quad Xeon reporting corrected

SANDRA by SiSoftware. SANDRA is an extensive, professional PC info/diagnostic/benchmarking program, developed by C. Adrian Silasi, and is often used by professional hardware reviewers such as Toms Hardware Guide, HardOCP, Anandtech and many others. Sandra uses my pcidevs.txt file (not directly, but in a compiled format, as part of a larger general information database) for PCI device recognition. Sandra runs under Win98 and later, including NT/2K/XP.

AltiPCI by William H Avery. AltiPCI is a GUI based PCI Diagnostic utility. It aims to report the same 'basic' info as my PCI program, but in an easy-to-understand GUI format. Works with NT4/2K/XP only. AltiPCI uses my pcidevs.txt file for it's PCI device detection. Click here for a screenshot.

Unknown Devices by Catfish. This program helps you find what those unknown devices in Device Manager really are. Program supports Win95, Win98, Win98se, WinMe, Win2k, WinXP, and 2003 Server. It also attempts to support future OS's. Sorry no WinNT support (there isn't even a Device Manager!). Unknown devices uses my pcidevs.txt file for it's PCI& AGP device names.
