Software update: PCI-Z 1.2

PCI-Z is a small and free program that identifies unknown hardware in a Windows PC, where most similar utilities read the driver string. It uses the PCI ID Repository and displays the vendor id, devices, subsystems, and device classes information. Also, the program makes it easy to find drivers for the unknown hardware. Although the name is reminiscent of CPU-Z and GPU-Z, it has nothing to do with these programs. Version 1.2 was released recently and the changelog so far looks like this:
