   I agree.  This is why PCI has an ID mechanism built in.  It works =
fantastically.  The problem cases earlier in this thread are due to the =
human error of a hardware manufacturer using the same ID for = incompatible
hardware.

       You don't expect a mainframe to automatically detect any off the =

too as this is how things used to be when the PC first came to be.
