Developer’s Description

By Bruno Banelli
View information about your PCI devices.
PCI-Z is a freeware lightweight system utility designed to provide information about (unknown) PCI (PCI-E, PCI-X) devices. PCI-Z is designed for detecting unknown hardware on your Windows based PC. It will help you determine vendor, device and certain details about device even if you don't have drivers installed. Software uses The PCI ID Repository, a public repository of all known ID's used in PCI devices: ID's of vendors, devices, subsystems and device classes. It is used in various programs to display full human-readable names instead of cryptic numeric codes. Software does not require any library but default Windows ones. No Visual Studio C++ redistributed, no .NET platform, no Java. It doesn't even require WMI, so you can use it on Windows editions such as Bart PE and similar. There is no installation or configuration. Simply run the file and wait until you get the report. Afterwards, right click on the line to get options (copy all data or just a segment) or export the whole list. No configuration of whatsoever is needed.
