Ah, well like I say, the HWID was: "ACPI\PNP0103\0". That's it. It's  
not a PCI bus device, it's an ACPI device. Motherboard stuff from what  
I would guess.

I did STFW for "ACPI\PNP0103\0" but.. if you try it yourself, you will  
see.. that just made my head hurt. In other words it made me more  
confused than I already was, and I am usually pretty good at figuring  
stuff like this out.

But I will try the sysprep idea from nate.. of course that may not  
even be possible. But we'll see.
