I can understand the bus handling it - but I would have thought every PC BIOS

Maybe I'm wrong; my assumption was that the BIOS would scan the bus and say
something like: "ahh, you're a such-and-such class of hardware, locate your
I/O here please" and would then choke when it tried to stick two video boards
in the same place.
Obviously it doesn't work like that though or that code wouldn't have been
written :-)
.. anyone know how the heck that works? I
don't get how you can even
"System Requirements: A PCI-bus computer with two PCI-bus VGA cards
installed."
