Re: how to get serial number of monitor,cdrom and ram

Just thought I'd go look around at some of my old monitors. Sure enough, A
before the turn of the century vintage NEC Multisync XV15 reports all of
it's info to WMI. Never installed anything from the manufacturer. But then
it's an early PnP monitor.

I have noticed that some LCD return a huge amount of info with an extended
MOF including the web site for the custom monitor driver.
