 Hi Gang.
We just tested here ScanPCI for OS/2 Warp. Here is an interesting and very serviceable tool for control your hardware. You can download it from
Hobbes (scanpci.zip, 118,182 bytes).

 ScanPCI for OS/2 is a little utility that scans the PCI buses and list the devices attached to the system. Pretty straightforward, uh?

ScanPCI will try to identify the devices (although this used not to be its primary goal), and will display nicely formatted data about each and every device.

Usage

ScanPCI has no fancy interface, but some command line switches.

Usage:
  scanpci -v    -- verbose mode; prints almost everything ;)
          -d    -- debug mode; just remove some checks from the scanning routine
          -?    -- prints this screen

You may redirect the output to a pipe or a file, i.e.:

   [d:\stuff\ScanPCI] ScanPCI | more
 
   [d:\stuff\ScanPCI] ScanPCI -v > out

Well if you happen to notice how slow is the stock OS/2 more, take a look at "A better more v2.0" by Stephen Lacy. It's faster and let you browse through the text: very similar to less, except it's smaller and have more intuitive keybindings if you have no unix background. It's dated 1993, so maybe you're not going to find it on hobbes; mail me if you don't find it.
