Can anyone tell me how can I access BIOS32 routines to program PCI
devices ?
I need C and/or ASM sources or at least some documentation about the
PCI bus and PCI BIOS.

Thanks,
Alessandro

A good source of info on this topic is PCI Hardware 
and Software written by Edward Solari and George Willse.
(published by Annabooks)  It's kind of heavy reading but 
once you get the basic idea of PCI, it's a pretty good 
reference.  

I've been told to order a copy of the PCI Specifications
from the PCI Special Interest Group (SIG).  They wrote the
spec for the PCI bus and PCI BIOS.  You can reach them here :

Try subscribing to the following newsgroup by sending
mail with the subject title saying :

You can find alot of info there but they are kind of snobby 
about replying to "simple" questions.

Good luck, I'm on the same path.
