<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>We already have Winzent legacy BIOS installed, but what tools can be run from DOS to troubleshoot the PCIe bus? Is there a common tool that runs on DOS that can output all of the devices on the bus? This may help us with our issue of having the NIC recognized in Windows CE. Also, is there a known rev of the Minnowboard Max Turbot that has the NIC issue resolved (I read earlier that some nic issue was fixed in later boards). Just wanted to see if our board is one of the newer ones.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Emir<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 4, 2016 at 10:09 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elinux-minnowboard-request@lists.elinux.org" target="_blank">elinux-minnowboard-request@lists.elinux.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send elinux-MinnowBoard mailing list submissions to<br>

Hi B-O<br>
<br>
Interesting...<br>
<br>
Which BIOS do you use to boot MSDOS?<br>
<br>
Curious....<br>
