Georg, the only thing I can think of that might be what you want is
QCONFIG.  I've used the DOS version but haven't used QCONFIG under OS/2,
so I can't vouch for it.  You can FTP the OS/2 version from
<http://oak.oakland.edu/pub/os2> and other places as well.

Hi Georg,
You can use OS/2 to probe your PC's devices.
Go to an OS/2 window and type any one 
of the following lines,followed by an 
<Enter> key pressed :

   RMVIEW /DC

   RMVIEW /DC /IRQ
 
   RMVIEW

For more info on using RMVIEW, in an OS/2
window type the line below, followed by
an <Enter> key pressed :

   HELP RMVIEW

Sincerely, Marian Alexie.

Have you tried the OS/2 "System Information Tool"?  It spews out reams
of info.

Have you considered using OS/2 software?

Try RMVIWE at command prompt, you will see some interesting data.

 RMVIEW might work better.   :)
