Ok good glad to hear 1.31 is working good.

I forced vendor name to always be Lucent in previous versions and I noticed in the previous versions it worked sometimes but not all of the time and i think what happened is that the compare instructions in the look up code wasnt formatted properly...

this is what it was....

"cmp [PCI_Vendor],4800"

and was changed to....

"cmp ax,4800"

only thing i could think of is the compiler was treating the value located at the address [PCI_Vendor] as a dword rather then a word value since i forgot to specify the data type, and when something happened to be in the neiboring varibles it would throw off the compare instruction. After changing the program and loading AX with the value defined as a word located at [PCI_Vendor] then using AX in all compare instructions i could not get it to fail again. but if i followed the rules earlier on, ax should have always been used as it does in 1.31 and that problem could have been overted.

Some features for next versions are:
- vendor's website
- usage of Interface byte for more precise detection (like ability to distinguish USB1 and USB2 devices)
- more vendors
- device IRQ

Full device detection (like "ATI Radeon 9200") will increase app size a lot and probably it is driver's function...
