identifying device by PCI\VEN number?

[Guest Niteowl]

hi,

 

I remember someone posting a place to check PCI\VEN numbers to identify a

piece of hardware, but can't find it now... I think it was a file to

download as a reference, but my memory is foggy, might have been a URL.

 

I have a Dell GX240 desktop and a yellow exclamation in the device manager

under "Other Devices"... number is

PCI\VEN_113F&DEV_888C&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_04\4&24B99E98&0&38F0

 

It's identified as a PCI serial port ???? I have no idea what it is

referring to.

 

I can find no reference using google... at least that is helpful, one hit

for a driverguide site, but couldn't identify my part.. looked like it might

be a modem, but I have a modem installed and working.

 

Anyone know of this reference file (or any way to check this) or was I

dreaming?

 

thanks,

niteowl

If none of the above works, download "Unknown Device Identifier".

It tells exactly what the "!" is, in most all cases.
