That's okay. I only noticed because I clicked the link and got "This Wiki topic does not exist yet". I have a few entries I should make myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet. You may have noticed that I didn't do so well typing "Compatibility" in my reply either 8^). Know what I'd like to see? A script or wizard that would extract all known hardware info and bring up a list for you to check off "worked first time", "worked with tweaking" (and a place to describe the tweak), or "couldn't get it working", and maybe a "don't know" (not ideal, but it's bound to come up), then send the completed list to a database somewhere that is publicly queryable. Right now it's too much work to report all the hardware, so most people don't bother. Of course, nowadays most of the hardware just works, so it's less of an issue. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
