Autoconfig, Hardware Manufacturer Number?
« on: June 11, 2013, 12:00:21 AM »
Is there any management of the Hardware Manufacturer Numbers used by Autoconfig that were assigned by the Commodore Amiga Technical Support in West Chester, Pennsylvania in the past?
(as mentioned here googlecode.com: AUTOCONF.TXT)

Disassemble it?

Or make UAE trigger various IDs and grab them from the utility?

I think this is not so much about where to get data, as to who makes the final call on ID assignment. I guess there has not been any ID-collision yet?
(given that SKIstor 2000 (1989) has the autoconfig ID 32768 and netbsd sources hint that it's 16-bit unsigned, collision may not be that unlikely)

How many new devices is produced per year btw?

Which ones are the latest additions?

Seems at least like the ID space won't run out like IPv4 will ;)
