	Hi
Thanks for the answer, it's clear now. The fact is I'm able 
to retrieve the hpa for a PCI device "only". But for the lazy 
example, I can retrieve the base, but not the hpa. So it would 
be really nice if I can write something usable also on 
712/710/etc.... and not only for PCI system. So I think I'll
forget it at this time, and work only for PCI subsystem (I can still
work on a function that test the kind of scsi card, and do the
reverse job to calculate the hpa from the base, but I'm not sure that
it is the best solution).

	Thanks a lot.
