Think of it as my kinky side . The reason I want to know what
these things are is that: -it is not uncommon for the owner of a system
to not know this information    but require it;   -I am writing a
program that requires access to serial ports, if I can
    determine the bus type is MCA or EISA, I then know that I can reasonably 
   expect no Irq conflict, if, on the other hand, it is just a regular
AT bus and I     can determine what Irqs have been assigned to which
serial ports, I can at     least warn the user that a conflict will
occur if he insists on continuing.   -it would make a great impression
at parties.

DosDevConfig seems to give only the number of devices. I can ask for
submodel or model, but I have no info on how to decode the information
I am given.
