Those that still respond to the probe aren't PnP... though like WD cards or soft config NE2000 clones, you could potentially relocate them (a bit) anyway. If nothing responds to the probes, then you have a PnP motherboard and you enable one slot at a time and check for PnP. Probe the ones that aren't.
