!sysinfo smbios - Meaning of different "Types"?????

Hi,

What are the meaning of the different Types when running !sysinfo smbios? Someone have a link?

For example:
[Memory Device Mapped Address (Type 20) - Length 19 - Handle 0023h]
Starting Address 00000000h
Ending Address 00000000h
Memory Device Handle 001ch
Mem Array Mapped Adr Handle 001dh
Partition Row Position 01
Interleave Position [None]
Interleave Data Depth [None]

Type 17 appears to be RAM.

It appears that each type has a name, given previously, for example, the type 20 you gave has a name Memory Device Mapped Address.

You can see Wikipedia for a list of names to type numbers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_BIOS
