CM_EISA_SLOT_INFORMATION defines EISA configuration header information returned by HalGetBusData for the input BusDataType EisaConfiguration, or by HalGetBusDataByOffset for the input BusDataType EisaConfiguration and the Offset zero, assuming the caller-allocated Buffer is of sufficient Length.
Members
ReturnCode
Contains a status code if an error occurs when the EISA BIOS is queried. Possible status codes include the following:
EISA_INVALID_SLOT
EISA_INVALID_FUNCTION
EISA_INVALID_CONFIGURATION
EISA_EMPTY_SLOT
EISA_INVALID_BIOS_CALL
ReturnFlags
The return flags.
MajorRevision
Information supplied by the manufacturer.
MinorRevision
Information supplied by the manufacturer.
Checksum
The checksum value, allowing validation of the configuration data.
NumberFunctions
The number at this slot.
FunctionInformation
Whether there is available CM_EISA_FUNCTION_INFORMATION for this slot.
CompressedId
The EISA compressed identification of the device at this slot. This value is identical to the CompressedId member of the CM_EISA_FUNCTION_INFORMATION structure. This member can be read to determine whether the caller should call HalGetBusData or HalGetBusDataByOffset again with sufficient buffer space to get more detailed CM_EISA_FUNCTION_INFORMATION for a device it supports.
Comments
The information returned by HalGetBusData or HalGetBusDataByOffset in CM_EISA_SLOT_INFORMATION and in CM_EISA_FUNCTION_INFORMATION immediately following it is read-only.
The driver of an EISA device might call HalGetBusData or HalGetBusDataByOffset for each slot on each EISA bus in the system, requesting only CM_EISA_SLOT_INFORMATION in order to find the device(s) it supports by examining the returned CompressedId values. Then, such a driver could allocate sufficient buffer space to call HalGetBusData(ByOffset) again for CM_EISA_SLOT_INFORMATION and CM_EISA_FUNCTION_INFORMATION at slots where its device(s) can be found.
