You said it, the HCL is the answer. The problem is that not enough

we'd all pitch in it'd be a much more useful resource. While the HCL
may have some limits, I don't think we can think about reimplementing
or duplicating it untill there is a decent reason other than the fact
that very few people are putting in their share of information.

Hi,
Yes I agree that the HCL should be the focal point of this
effort. However that a look at this way of presenting what works:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/hardware-amd64.html
If we could have this format of the information instead of
having
to look at each and every one of some PC that someone tested
to find out if a particular chipset works .... or is supposed to
work.
I belive that this would make many users more confident and able
to make good desicions about what PC hardware they can use
for Solaris.
That is a nice list. :)
If this is what you want, I think you should do it! Its definately a
kinder gentler list than the HCL and once the list started to fill out
we could backport some of that data into the HCL so that everyone wins.
I've got plenty of contributions if you decide to do it. Its a good idea.
