Most, but not all, identifier strings are bus-specific. The Plug and Play (PnP) Manager also supports a set of generic device identifiers for devices that can appear on many different buses. These identifiers are of the form:
*PNPd(4)
where d(4) is a 4-digit, hexadecimal type identifier. In the case of the PCMCIA bus, compatible IDs are formatted in this manner (see the following discussion of the PCMCIA bus). The official list of these identifiers can be found at the Windows Platform Development Web site. This information is also published in the Microsoft® MSDN™.
