It was the unusual ones that I was meaning. Unfortunately, it appears
that the most common consumaer electronics manufacturers (e.g. Sony)
would appear to think they are above the law when it comes to confirming
to standards (Sometimes I think Sony are the consumer version of M$).
I'd just like it to be easy for users who buy these things to get their
device working. After all most users would simply say bugger it I'll use
M$ since it works out of the box. I'm fairly rabidly anti-M$ to the
point where I wouldn't run M$ if you paid me, so I eventually worked out
what to put in the unusual devices... Most people I know wouldn't bother.
