is it safe to ignore base system device with no driver?

    ok so after a fresh install on my home-built PC, Device Manager shows a Base System Device with a yellow mark. everything seems to work, but I hate leaving unknown devices around. does ASRock ALiveXFire-eSATA2 R3.0 Bios 2.60 for DOS include teh dirver for this? how do I find out what this device actually is before installing random packages? id rather not use driver udpater tools if I can avoid it. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    The hardware ID starts with a vendor ID that matches ASRock.

    Common mappings: SM Bus Controller usually needs the chipset package; PCI Simple Communications Controller is often the Management Engine interface; Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller often relates to thermal or platform drivers. worked for me anyway 馃し

    been there man download drivers from the PC or motherboard makers support page for your exact model. their package lists usually include chipset, ME, serial IO and platform drivers.

    oof open Device Manager > device > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids... the VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx part identifies the vendor and device. searching that ID (or checking teh INF files in a driver package) tells you which package covers it.
