We are trying to write a utility that detects motherboard information for the purpose of determining upgrade and support requirements. I have hit a brick wall on a couple of things.

Detection of bus type (ISA, PCI, AGP, USB)
Detection of drive controller (IDE, EIDE, ATA, SCSI)

We have tried interrogating the registry, but the references to any of these items is either inconsistent or non-existent.

We are not able to use DMI to detect this information.

Does anyone have any ideas on this, or preferably some code that we can look at and adapt.
