I couldn't tell if the names were wrong offhand - needed ioscan output
(got it) and compare. Thanks for fixing this.

I think I got this right despite PCI controller names.
Workstations typically hardwired the PCI slot to use the same device
number (e.g. 3) as what is silk screened on the back of the machine.
Built-in devices were typically given numbers much greater than the
highest slot number.

Servers never did this just because that scheme doesn't work multi-cell
systems with > 32 PCI slots (e.g. superdome) or multiple IO bays with
identical silk screened slot numbers.

thanks,
