Do you mean live interrogation inside of PNCconf?
If you do, is this possible besides for the newest sserial cards?
This also would limit one to configuring only for hardware one had on hand,
which may not be a huge problem ( I don't like it cause its hard to test
changes )
Or do you mean having a halcmd program that interrogates the system that
would create, for instance an XML file that PNCconf could use from there on?
The nice thing about the manual selection way is self-discovery, one can select
each firmware and quickly see the differences without knowing anything about
them.

Yes you and Peter have kept me pretty busy!
As far as mainboard firmware it would be nice if Peter could add his new
firmware
to the repo or if he could somehow produce XML files at least.
