Some embedded systems, industrial PCs, and thin clients (e.g., Advantech, IEI) still include legacy Super I/O chips for serial/parallel port compatibility. Also, certain ASRock and Gigabyte boards have a BIOS option called "ACPI Auto Configuration" that sometimes generates ghost devices. This is the native environment for this hardware
