- How to reserve an entrie in pnp table of BIOS
- Posted by martga on June 23rd, 2004
Hi,
which organisation manages the pnp table. I need to preserve a PNP number in PNP table for my type of system device.(PNP0104)
As far as I discovered, PNP table is a subset of EISA table established on request of Microsoft and will be managed by Microsoft.
Is this the right thinking and if to whom I can address my request of reserving such a PNP number?

what you do need a PNPxxxx ID ? why not create your own vendor id, like
MYCOM\FOOBAR and list PNP0104 as a compatible id?

Problem is not Windows installation of driver. I need this PNP number for integration inside BIOS to be sure to have new type of PNP device, which is not existing until now inside PNP table.
I guess your thinking of the way of comports being compatible to PNP0501.
But that is the point. My device is not compatible to any existing PNP number. So I need my own type of PNP device.

why not create your own HWID and that's it? why does it have to start with
"PNP"? The id is just a string, in an ACPI bios, this is rather easy to do.

According to the documentation, such IDs are used only for devices which can be
connected by different means.
Otherwise, a bus-specific ID is used.

Thanks for your hint.
I established my own hardware ID and it really works.
