Way to get detailed information on a device?

I'm trying to figure out what device I have installed in my laptop. It's a MiniPCI card that should be a Intersil PrismII, but when I try to use PrismII drives with it, I can't get it to work. I'm trying to find out whatever details on the device I can...what is there that is better than the device manager (this is in XP, btw.)?

One thing that's always bothered me about Windows is the lack of a good PCI bus listing program, like 'lspci' in linux

lspci

And you can add -v to make it more verbose, telling you all the features each device supports.

Yeah, I was considering loading linux to test it, but that's a bit extreme. 😉
