#This page lists hardware known to work with Plan 9. Most hardware is
#listed by chipset, you may need to know what chipset your particular
#cards use. There is also a list of known [broken hardware].
#
#IDE/ATAPI CONTROLLERS
#
#Plan 9 supports almost all motherboard IDE/ATAPI controllers, but
#DMA transfers are only used on these recognized chipsets (chipsets
#not listed here will simply run slower; you can try turning on DMA
#by editing /sys/src/9/pc/sdata.c).

#VESA VIDEO CARDS
#
#Plan 9 can attempt to drive video cards using the VESA BIOS
#extensions instead of using drivers specific to particular chips. To
#use VESA, choose "vesa" as your monitor type during the CD boot or
#when making an install floppy.
#
#The following cards are known to work using VESA. (Cards not listed
#here are still worth trying!)
# *	Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (Dell desktops)
# *	Intel 82845G Integrated Graphics Controller (Compaq Evo D510 SFF)
# *	Intel 855GM Integrated Graphics Device (Thinkpad X40)
# *	Radeon 9200 Mobile (Compaq NX7010)
# *	Radeon Mobility 9600 (ThinkPad T42p)
# *	Radeon Mobility 7500 M7 LW (Compaq Presario 1500)
# *	Radeon R200 QH (Fire GL 8700 and 8800)
# *	Radeon RV280 (9200 SL)
# *	Nvidia Quadro4 980 XGL
# *	SiS630 onboard
# *	SiS630 ST onboard ([JVC MP-XP3 |
#	http://9fans.net/archive/2009/12/291])
#
#(Some of the cards in this list have been moved to the main table)
#
#The following cards are known not to work with VESA:
# *	Neomagic NM2360/MagicMedia 256ZX (Thinkpad 600X): Blank screen.
# *	Cirrus Logic CL-GD5436/46 (no VESA support?)
# *	AMD Geode GX2. Blank screen. Bug identified by Russ Cox, but hard
#	to solve.
#
#VGA CARDS AND CHIPSETS
#
#For VGA cards it is more precise to describe the chips we support
#rather than the cards they are based on, since the cards are more
#ephemeral. Beware: different revisions of a card may use different
#chip sets.
#
#Plan 9 can use some basic acceleration features such as filling and
#scrolling rectangles.
#
#NOTE: If your chipset is not listed or listed as not supported, try
#the VESA driver by entering "vesa" as your monitor type.

#SCSI CONTROLLERS
#
# *	[LSI Logic | http://www.lsilogic.com] 53C8xx and 53C1010
#	chipsets, e.g., cards from: Tekram, LSI Logic, Symbios, Compaq,
#	NCR, I-O DATA, ASUS. The chip numbers matter more than the brand.
#	LSI Logic now owns Symbios and Mylex. You may need to configure the
#	SCSI BIOS to "START UNIT" (spin up) the bootable drive so I/O works
#	for the main BIOS. Also, beware 53C1020/1030 cards--they are
#	"Fusion/MPT" and cannot be supported by this driver.
# *	Buslogic BT-948 or BT-958 (AKA Mylex multimaster series). These
#	aren't being made any more, but you might be able to buy them used.
# *	Adaptec 1540 or 1542 for the ISA bus
# *	Ultrastor 14F ISA or 34F VLB
#
#KEYBOARDS
#
#Any PS/2 or USB keyboard should work. The bootstraps require PS/2
#"emulation" in your BIOS to make USB keyboards work.
#
#MICE
#
#Plan 9 supports PS/2, PS/2 Intellimouse, and serial mice. USB mice
#are supported via a user-space driver. See usb(4), usbd(4), and
#usb(3).
#
#You will want a 3 button mouse for plan9, using the scroll wheel as
#the middle button is not really satisfactory. The IBM 40K9201 and HP
#DY651A are both good quality USB optical mice with three real
#buttons.
#
#There is preliminary support for the scroll wheel and extra buttons
#as on the Toshiba Portege 3440CT.
#
#Most laptops present their built-in pointing devices as PS/2 mice.
#
#The middle mouse button on the virtual VMware mouse appears not to
#work when running Plan 9 under Windows 2000 on certain laptops,
#notably IBM Thinkpads. To the extent that fault can be assigned, it
#is a hardware bug. The mouse controllers do not follow the same
#protocol that all other 3-button mice do for reporting the button
#count. See
#[http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2002-May/017472.html] for a
#Windows workaround.
#
#LAPTOPS
#
#Laptops are often the hardest systems to get Plan 9 running on,
#because you can't choose the hardware piece by piece.
#
#The following laptops are known to work in the current release:
# *	Acer TravelMate 4052 WmLi (no wireless, no sound)
# *	Acer Aspire 5024WLMi (wireless and sound not tested, *nousbohci=1
#	required; tested with 9atom)
# *	Asus F7400
# *	Compaq Presario 1500 (ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW, Intel PRO 100/VE
#	i82562, usb mouse works)
# *	Dell Inspiron 2650 (mouse not working though)
# *	Dell Inspiron 70n 7000
# *	Dell Inspiron 1000 (no ether, no sound, cardbus not tested)
# *	IBM Thinkpad 560, 560E, 600E, T20, T21, T23, T30 (using Philippe
#	Anel's [Radeon Drivers]), T42p (no wireless), X20, X40, X60
# *	NEC Versa LX, SX
# *	Sharp Actius A250
# *	Sony Vaio PGC-105k (uk)
# *	Sony Vaio PCG-GR114EK
# *	Toshiba Portege 3440CT
# *	Toshiba Tecra 750CDM
# *	HP Compaq nx6315 (No net)
# *	[JVC MP-XP3 | http://9fans.net/archive/2009/12/291]
#
#The following laptops worked in previous releases and may work in
#the current one:
# *	AT&T GIS Globalyst 250
# *	Compaq Armada 7710 MT
# *	Dell Dimension cpi 333
# *	IBM Thinkpad 560X, 570
# *	NEC Versa 6030X, 6200MX
# *	Sony VAIO PCG 747
# *	Toshiba Satellite 2800
#
#The following laptops are known not to work with Plan 9:
# *	Compaq Armada 7800 (does not detect all physical memory, runs
#	out, apparently hardware cursor doesn't work either)
# *	Compaq LTE 5300 (unsupported video card Cirrus Logic GD7543)<-
#	Are You sure about this? I think CL-GD7543 is well supported
#	(Generic 640x480 LCD), I had a COMPAQ Armada 1120T, but the problem
#	was the memory (24MB) not the graphical chip set! see [google
#	groups |
#	http://groups.google.com/groups?q=group:comp.os.plan9+5300&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=fa2d4dc3.0206230630.4477bd8a%40posting.google.com&rnum=1]
# *	Dell Inspiron 4000, 5000e (unsupported video card ATI Mobility M3)
# *	Zenith Znote 425 (not enough RAM)
#
#CARDBUS AND PCMCIA CONTROLLERS
#
#The following cardbus controllers are supported:
# *	Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge
# *	Ricoh 478 PCI/Cardbus bridge
# *	TI PCI-1131 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-1250 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-1450 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-AC51 Cardbus controller
#
#If the cardbus chipset is not supported, Plan 9 falls back to the
#PCMCIA driver, which handles the Intel i82365, Cirrus Logic
#CL-PD6710, Cirrus Logic CL-PD6720, Vadem VG-46x, and compatibles.
#This covers most laptops.
#
#AUDIO
#
#Supported audio devices:
# *	Sound Blaster 16 or later, ISA card
# *	ESS 1688 running in 8-bit SBPro mode
# *	most USB audio devices
# *	Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller
#	(with code addition from
#	http://kamalatta.dyndns.org/config/ac97k.tar
#
#Supported but not as well tested:
# *	Any Sound Blaster 16 clones (NOT Sound Blaster Pro clones)
#
#USB audio devices that have been reported to work:
# *	Edirol UA-1X (recording untested, but believed to work)
# *	Edirol UA-3
# *	Philips USB speakers, model DSS 370/17
# *	Xitel AN1
# *	[Xitel Pro HiFi-Link |

# *	Creative Sound Blaster live! ( Can't set record speed )
# *	M-Audio FastTrack USB (recording untested; gets "Can't set record
#	speed" message on startup; setting and volume succesds but has no
#	effect.)
#
#FLOPPY DISKS
#
#Plan 9 supports generic floppy drives, although some people have had
#trouble accessing them. If you have trouble accessing your 3.5"
#floppy drive and also have a 5.25" floppy drive, try disabling the
#latter in the BIOS.
#
#USB floppy drives are not supported.
#
#MAGNETO-OPTICAL DISK JUKEBOXES
#
#Virtually any modern SCSI jukebox will work. The key thing to look
#for (probably on the manufacturer's web site) is that the jukebox
#must implement the SCSI SMC (SCSI Media Changer) command set. Media
#(M-O disks) and jukeboxes can be had cheaply on ebay.com. We have
#had good experience with these models on Plan 9 file servers:
# *	HP 330FX (choline)
# *	HP 160FX (original emelie)
# *	HP 1200EX (emelie)
#
#We've had limited experience with these models (bought used), and
#they failed within a few months, one mechanically and the other
#electronically:
# *	HP 40FX
# *	HP 80EX
#
#The 160FX and up seem to be built much more sturdily than the
#smaller jukeboxes, which are the size of large tower PCs.
#
#MOTHERBOARDS
#
# *	ASUS A8R32-MVP (onboard NIC not supported, use a PCI NIC instead)
#
#THIN CLIENT (terminal/CPU/Auth-server)
#
# *	IGEL LX 3210 (Via C3 Esther 400Mhz, 256MB RAM, network,
#	graphics(VGA+DVI), usb, PS/2,) - Sound (Via AC97) doesn't work)
#
# *	HP Compaq T5000 (Via C3 Samuel 400Mhz - BIOS says Via Eden - ,
#	128MB RAM, network vt6102, graphics(VGA+DVI), usb, PS/2) - Sound
#	(Via AC97) doesn't work)

#VESA VIDEO CARDS
#
#Plan 9 can attempt to drive video cards using the VESA BIOS
#extensions instead of using drivers specific to particular chips. To
#use VESA, choose "vesa" as your monitor type during the CD boot or
#when making an install floppy.
#
#The following cards are known to work using VESA. (Cards not listed
#here are still worth trying!)
# *	Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (Dell desktops)

#VGA CARDS AND CHIPSETS
#
#For VGA cards it is more precise to describe the chips we support
#rather than the cards they are based on, since the cards are more
#ephemeral. Beware: different revisions of a card may use different
#chip sets.
#
#Plan 9 can use some basic acceleration features such as filling and
#scrolling rectangles.
#
#NOTE: If your chipset is not listed or listed as not supported, try
#the VESA driver by entering "vesa" as your monitor type.

#SCSI CONTROLLERS
#
# *	[LSI Logic | http://www.lsilogic.com] 53C8xx and 53C1010
#	chipsets, e.g., cards from: Tekram, LSI Logic, Symbios, Compaq,
#	NCR, I-O DATA, ASUS. The chip numbers matter more than the brand.
#	LSI Logic now owns Symbios and Mylex. You may need to configure the
#	SCSI BIOS to "START UNIT" (spin up) the bootable drive so I/O works
#	for the main BIOS. Also, beware 53C1020/1030 cards--they are
#	"Fusion/MPT" and cannot be supported by this driver.
# *	Buslogic BT-948 or BT-958 (AKA Mylex multimaster series). These
#	aren't being made any more, but you might be able to buy them used.
# *	Adaptec 1540 or 1542 for the ISA bus
# *	Ultrastor 14F ISA or 34F VLB
#
#KEYBOARDS
#
#Any PS/2 or USB keyboard should work. The bootstraps require PS/2
#"emulation" in your BIOS to make USB keyboards work.
#
#MICE
#
#Plan 9 supports PS/2, PS/2 Intellimouse, and serial mice. USB mice
#are supported via a user-space driver. See usb(4), usbd(4), and
#usb(3).
#
#You will want a 3 button mouse for plan9, using the scroll wheel as
#the middle button is not really satisfactory. The IBM 40K9201 and HP
#DY651A are both good quality USB optical mice with three real
#buttons.
#
#There is preliminary support for the scroll wheel and extra buttons
#as on the Toshiba Portege 3440CT.
#
#Most laptops present their built-in pointing devices as PS/2 mice.
#
#The middle mouse button on the virtual VMware mouse appears not to
#work when running Plan 9 under Windows 2000 on certain laptops,
#notably IBM Thinkpads. To the extent that fault can be assigned, it
#is a hardware bug. The mouse controllers do not follow the same
#protocol that all other 3-button mice do for reporting the button
#count. See
#[http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2002-May/017472.html] for a
#Windows workaround.
#
#LAPTOPS
#
#Laptops are often the hardest systems to get Plan 9 running on,
#because you can't choose the hardware piece by piece.
#
#The following laptops are known to work in the current release:
# *	Acer TravelMate 4052 WmLi (no wireless, no sound)
# *	Acer Aspire 5024WLMi (wireless and sound not tested, *nousbohci=1
#	required; tested with 9atom)
# *	Asus F7400

# *	Toshiba Satellite 2800
#
#The following laptops are known not to work with Plan 9:
# *	Compaq Armada 7800 (does not detect all physical memory, runs
#	out, apparently hardware cursor doesn't work either)
# *	Compaq LTE 5300 (unsupported video card Cirrus Logic GD7543)<-
#	Are You sure about this? I think CL-GD7543 is well supported
#	(Generic 640x480 LCD), I had a COMPAQ Armada 1120T, but the problem
#	was the memory (24MB) not the graphical chip set! see [google

# *	Dell Inspiron 4000, 5000e (unsupported video card ATI Mobility M3)
# *	Zenith Znote 425 (not enough RAM)
#
#CARDBUS AND PCMCIA CONTROLLERS
#
#The following cardbus controllers are supported:
# *	Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge
# *	Ricoh 478 PCI/Cardbus bridge
# *	TI PCI-1131 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-1250 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-1450 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-AC51 Cardbus controller
#
#If the cardbus chipset is not supported, Plan 9 falls back to the
#PCMCIA driver, which handles the Intel i82365, Cirrus Logic
#CL-PD6710, Cirrus Logic CL-PD6720, Vadem VG-46x, and compatibles.
#This covers most laptops.
#
#AUDIO
#
#Supported audio devices:
# *	Sound Blaster 16 or later, ISA card
# *	ESS 1688 running in 8-bit SBPro mode

#
#FLOPPY DISKS
#
#Plan 9 supports generic floppy drives, although some people have had
#trouble accessing them. If you have trouble accessing your 3.5"
#floppy drive and also have a 5.25" floppy drive, try disabling the
#latter in the BIOS.
#
#USB floppy drives are not supported.
#
#MAGNETO-OPTICAL DISK JUKEBOXES
#
#Virtually any modern SCSI jukebox will work. The key thing to look
#for (probably on the manufacturer's web site) is that the jukebox
#must implement the SCSI SMC (SCSI Media Changer) command set. Media
#(M-O disks) and jukeboxes can be had cheaply on ebay.com. We have
#had good experience with these models on Plan 9 file servers:
# *	HP 330FX (choline)
# *	HP 160FX (original emelie)
# *	HP 1200EX (emelie)
#
#We've had limited experience with these models (bought used), and
#they failed within a few months, one mechanically and the other
#electronically:
# *	HP 40FX
# *	HP 80EX
#
#The 160FX and up seem to be built much more sturdily than the
#smaller jukeboxes, which are the size of large tower PCs.

#SCSI CONTROLLERS
#
# *	[LSI Logic | http://www.lsilogic.com] 53C8xx and 53C1010
#	chipsets, e.g., cards from: Tekram, LSI Logic, Symbios, Compaq,
#	NCR, I-O DATA, ASUS. The chip numbers matter more than the brand.
#	LSI Logic now owns Symbios and Mylex. You may need to configure the
#	SCSI BIOS to "START UNIT" (spin up) the bootable drive so I/O works
#	for the main BIOS. Also, beware 53C1020/1030 cards--they are
#	"Fusion/MPT" and cannot be supported by this driver.
# *	Buslogic BT-948 or BT-958 (AKA Mylex multimaster series). These
#	aren't being made any more, but you might be able to buy them used.
# *	Adaptec 1540 or 1542 for the ISA bus
# *	Ultrastor 14F ISA or 34F VLB
#
#KEYBOARDS
#
#Any PS/2 or USB keyboard should work. The bootstraps require PS/2
#"emulation" in your BIOS to make USB keyboards work.
#
#MICE
#
#Plan 9 supports PS/2, PS/2 Intellimouse, and serial mice. USB mice
#are supported via a user-space driver. See usb(4), usbd(4), and
#usb(3).
#
#You will want a 3 button mouse for plan9, using the scroll wheel as
#the middle button is not really satisfactory. The IBM 40K9201 and HP
#DY651A are both good quality USB optical mice with three real
#buttons.
#
#There is preliminary support for the scroll wheel and extra buttons
#as on the Toshiba Portege 3440CT.
#
#Most laptops present their built-in pointing devices as PS/2 mice.
#
#The middle mouse button on the virtual VMware mouse appears not to
#work when running Plan 9 under Windows 2000 on certain laptops,
#notably IBM Thinkpads. To the extent that fault can be assigned, it
#is a hardware bug. The mouse controllers do not follow the same
#protocol that all other 3-button mice do for reporting the button
#count. See
#[http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2002-May/017472.html] for a
#Windows workaround.
#
#LAPTOPS
#
#Laptops are often the hardest systems to get Plan 9 running on,
#because you can't choose the hardware piece by piece.
#
#The following laptops are known to work in the current release:
# *	Acer TravelMate 4052 WmLi (no wireless, no sound)
# *	Acer Aspire 5024WLMi (wireless and sound not tested, *nousbohci=1
#	required; tested with 9atom)
# *	Asus F7400
# *	Compaq Presario 1500 (ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW, Intel PRO 100/VE

# *	HP Compaq nx6315 (No net)
# *	[JVC MP-XP3 | http://9fans.net/archive/2009/12/291]
#
#The following laptops worked in previous releases and may work in
#the current one:
# *	AT&T GIS Globalyst 250
# *	Compaq Armada 7710 MT
# *	Dell Dimension cpi 333
# *	IBM Thinkpad 560X, 570
# *	NEC Versa 6030X, 6200MX
# *	Sony VAIO PCG 747
# *	Toshiba Satellite 2800
#
#The following laptops are known not to work with Plan 9:
# *	Compaq Armada 7800 (does not detect all physical memory, runs
#	out, apparently hardware cursor doesn't work either)
# *	Compaq LTE 5300 (unsupported video card Cirrus Logic GD7543)<-
#	Are You sure about this? I think CL-GD7543 is well supported
#	(Generic 640x480 LCD), I had a COMPAQ Armada 1120T, but the problem
#	was the memory (24MB) not the graphical chip set! see [google
#	groups |
#	http://groups.google.com/groups?q=group:comp.os.plan9+5300&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=fa2d4dc3.0206230630.4477bd8a%40posting.google.com&rnum=1]
# *	Dell Inspiron 4000, 5000e (unsupported video card ATI Mobility M3)
# *	Zenith Znote 425 (not enough RAM)
#
#CARDBUS AND PCMCIA CONTROLLERS
#
#The following cardbus controllers are supported:
# *	Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge
# *	Ricoh 478 PCI/Cardbus bridge
# *	TI PCI-1131 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-1250 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-1450 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-AC51 Cardbus controller
#
#If the cardbus chipset is not supported, Plan 9 falls back to the
#PCMCIA driver, which handles the Intel i82365, Cirrus Logic
#CL-PD6710, Cirrus Logic CL-PD6720, Vadem VG-46x, and compatibles.
#This covers most laptops.
#
#AUDIO
#
#Supported audio devices:
# *	Sound Blaster 16 or later, ISA card
# *	ESS 1688 running in 8-bit SBPro mode
# *	most USB audio devices
# *	Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller
#	(with code addition from

#
#FLOPPY DISKS
#
#Plan 9 supports generic floppy drives, although some people have had
#trouble accessing them. If you have trouble accessing your 3.5"
#floppy drive and also have a 5.25" floppy drive, try disabling the
#latter in the BIOS.
#
#USB floppy drives are not supported.
#
#MAGNETO-OPTICAL DISK JUKEBOXES
#
#Virtually any modern SCSI jukebox will work. The key thing to look
#for (probably on the manufacturer's web site) is that the jukebox
#must implement the SCSI SMC (SCSI Media Changer) command set. Media
#(M-O disks) and jukeboxes can be had cheaply on ebay.com. We have
#had good experience with these models on Plan 9 file servers:
# *	HP 330FX (choline)
# *	HP 160FX (original emelie)
# *	HP 1200EX (emelie)
#
#We've had limited experience with these models (bought used), and
#they failed within a few months, one mechanically and the other
#electronically:
# *	HP 40FX
# *	HP 80EX
#
#The 160FX and up seem to be built much more sturdily than the
#smaller jukeboxes, which are the size of large tower PCs.
#
#MOTHERBOARDS
#
# *	ASUS A8R32-MVP (onboard NIC not supported, use a PCI NIC instead)
#
#THIN CLIENT (terminal/CPU/Auth-server)

#VESA VIDEO CARDS
#
#Plan 9 can attempt to drive video cards using the VESA BIOS
#extensions instead of using drivers specific to particular chips. To
#use VESA, choose "vesa" as your monitor type during the CD boot or
#when making an install floppy.
#
#The following cards are known to work using VESA. (Cards not listed
#here are still worth trying!)
# *	Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (Dell desktops)
# *	Intel 82845G Integrated Graphics Controller (Compaq Evo D510 SFF)
# *	Intel 855GM Integrated Graphics Device (Thinkpad X40)
# *	Radeon 9200 Mobile (Compaq NX7010)
# *	Radeon Mobility 9600 (ThinkPad T42p)
# *	Radeon Mobility 7500 M7 LW (Compaq Presario 1500)
# *	Radeon R200 QH (Fire GL 8700 and 8800)
# *	Radeon RV280 (9200 SL)
# *	Nvidia Quadro4 980 XGL
# *	SiS630 onboard
# *	SiS630 ST onboard ([JVC MP-XP3 |
#	http://9fans.net/archive/2009/12/291])
# *	VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700 VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
#
#(Some of the cards in this list have been moved to the main table)
#
#The following cards are known not to work with VESA:
# *	Neomagic NM2360/MagicMedia 256ZX (Thinkpad 600X): Blank screen.
# *	Cirrus Logic CL-GD5436/46 (no VESA support?)
# *	AMD Geode GX2. Blank screen. Bug identified by Russ Cox, but hard
#	to solve.
#
#VGA CARDS AND CHIPSETS
#
#For VGA cards it is more precise to describe the chips we support
#rather than the cards they are based on, since the cards are more
#ephemeral. Beware: different revisions of a card may use different
#chip sets.
#
#Plan 9 can use some basic acceleration features such as filling and
#scrolling rectangles.
#
#NOTE: If your chipset is not listed or listed as not supported, try
#the VESA driver by entering "vesa" as your monitor type.

#SCSI CONTROLLERS
#
# *	[LSI Logic | http://www.lsilogic.com] 53C8xx and 53C1010
#	chipsets, e.g., cards from: Tekram, LSI Logic, Symbios, Compaq,
#	NCR, I-O DATA, ASUS. The chip numbers matter more than the brand.
#	LSI Logic now owns Symbios and Mylex. You may need to configure the
#	SCSI BIOS to "START UNIT" (spin up) the bootable drive so I/O works
#	for the main BIOS. Also, beware 53C1020/1030 cards--they are
#	"Fusion/MPT" and cannot be supported by this driver.
# *	Buslogic BT-948 or BT-958 (AKA Mylex multimaster series). These
#	aren't being made any more, but you might be able to buy them used.
# *	Adaptec 1540 or 1542 for the ISA bus
# *	Ultrastor 14F ISA or 34F VLB
#
#KEYBOARDS
#
#Any PS/2 or USB keyboard should work. The bootstraps require PS/2
#"emulation" in your BIOS to make USB keyboards work.
#
#MICE
#
#Plan 9 supports PS/2, PS/2 Intellimouse, and serial mice. USB mice
#are supported via a user-space driver. See usb(4), usbd(4), and
#usb(3).
#
#You will want a 3 button mouse for plan9, using the scroll wheel as
#the middle button is not really satisfactory. The IBM 40K9201 and HP
#DY651A are both good quality USB optical mice with three real
#buttons.
#
#There is preliminary support for the scroll wheel and extra buttons
#as on the Toshiba Portege 3440CT.
#
#Most laptops present their built-in pointing devices as PS/2 mice.
#
#The middle mouse button on the virtual VMware mouse appears not to
#work when running Plan 9 under Windows 2000 on certain laptops,
#notably IBM Thinkpads. To the extent that fault can be assigned, it
#is a hardware bug. The mouse controllers do not follow the same
#protocol that all other 3-button mice do for reporting the button
#count. See
#[http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2002-May/017472.html] for a
#Windows workaround.
#
#LAPTOPS
#
#Laptops are often the hardest systems to get Plan 9 running on,
#because you can't choose the hardware piece by piece.
#
#The following laptops are known to work in the current release:
# *	Acer TravelMate 4052 WmLi (no wireless, no sound)
# *	Acer Aspire 5024WLMi (wireless and sound not tested, *nousbohci=1
#	required; tested with 9atom)
# *	Asus F7400
# *	Compaq Presario 1500 (ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW, Intel PRO 100/VE

# *	HP Compaq nx6315 (No net)
# *	[JVC MP-XP3 | http://9fans.net/archive/2009/12/291]
#
#The following laptops worked in previous releases and may work in
#the current one:
# *	AT&T GIS Globalyst 250
# *	Compaq Armada 7710 MT
# *	Dell Dimension cpi 333
# *	IBM Thinkpad 560X, 570
# *	NEC Versa 6030X, 6200MX
# *	Sony VAIO PCG 747
# *	Toshiba Satellite 2800
#
#The following laptops are known not to work with Plan 9:
# *	Compaq Armada 7800 (does not detect all physical memory, runs
#	out, apparently hardware cursor doesn't work either)
# *	Compaq LTE 5300 (unsupported video card Cirrus Logic GD7543)<-
#	Are You sure about this? I think CL-GD7543 is well supported
#	(Generic 640x480 LCD), I had a COMPAQ Armada 1120T, but the problem
#	was the memory (24MB) not the graphical chip set! see [google
#	groups |

# *	Dell Inspiron 4000, 5000e (unsupported video card ATI Mobility M3)
# *	Zenith Znote 425 (not enough RAM)
#
#CARDBUS AND PCMCIA CONTROLLERS
#
#The following cardbus controllers are supported:
# *	Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge
# *	Ricoh 478 PCI/Cardbus bridge
# *	TI PCI-1131 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-1250 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-1450 Cardbus controller
# *	TI PCI-AC51 Cardbus controller
#
#If the cardbus chipset is not supported, Plan 9 falls back to the
#PCMCIA driver, which handles the Intel i82365, Cirrus Logic
#CL-PD6710, Cirrus Logic CL-PD6720, Vadem VG-46x, and compatibles.
#This covers most laptops.
#
#AUDIO
#
#Supported audio devices:
# *	Sound Blaster 16 or later, ISA card
# *	ESS 1688 running in 8-bit SBPro mode
# *	most USB audio devices
# *	Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller
#	(with code addition from http://kamalatta.ddnss.de/config/ac97k.tar
#
#Supported but not as well tested:

#
#FLOPPY DISKS
#
#Plan 9 supports generic floppy drives, although some people have had
#trouble accessing them. If you have trouble accessing your 3.5"
#floppy drive and also have a 5.25" floppy drive, try disabling the
#latter in the BIOS.
#
#USB floppy drives are not supported.
#
#MAGNETO-OPTICAL DISK JUKEBOXES
#
#Virtually any modern SCSI jukebox will work. The key thing to look
#for (probably on the manufacturer's web site) is that the jukebox
#must implement the SCSI SMC (SCSI Media Changer) command set. Media
#(M-O disks) and jukeboxes can be had cheaply on ebay.com. We have
#had good experience with these models on Plan 9 file servers:
# *	HP 330FX (choline)
# *	HP 160FX (original emelie)
# *	HP 1200EX (emelie)
#
#We've had limited experience with these models (bought used), and
#they failed within a few months, one mechanically and the other
#electronically:
# *	HP 40FX
# *	HP 80EX
#
#The 160FX and up seem to be built much more sturdily than the
#smaller jukeboxes, which are the size of large tower PCs.
#
#MOTHERBOARDS

#VESA VIDEO CARDS
#
#Plan 9 can attempt to drive video cards using the VESA BIOS
#extensions instead of using drivers specific to particular chips. To
#use VESA, choose "vesa" as your monitor type during the CD boot or
#when making an install floppy.
#
#The following cards are known to work using VESA. (Cards not listed
#here are still worth trying!)
# *	Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (Dell desktops)
# *	Intel 82845G Integrated Graphics Controller (Compaq Evo D510 SFF)
# *	Intel 855GM Integrated Graphics Device (Thinkpad X40)
# *	Radeon 9200 Mobile (Compaq NX7010)
# *	Radeon Mobility 9600 (ThinkPad T42p)
# *	Radeon Mobility 7500 M7 LW (Compaq Presario 1500)
# *	Radeon R200 QH (Fire GL 8700 and 8800)
# *	Radeon RV280 (9200 SL)
# *	Nvidia Quadro4 980 XGL
# *	SiS630 onboard
# *	SiS630 ST onboard ([JVC MP-XP3 |
#	http://9fans.net/archive/2009/12/291])
# *	VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700 VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
#
#(Some of the cards in this list have been moved to the main table)
#
#The following cards are known not to work with VESA:
# *	Neomagic NM2360/MagicMedia 256ZX (Thinkpad 600X): Blank screen.
# *	Cirrus Logic CL-GD5436/46 (no VESA support?)
# *	AMD Geode GX2. Blank screen. Bug identified by Russ Cox, but hard
#	to solve.
#
#VGA CARDS AND CHIPSETS
#
#For VGA cards it is more precise to describe the chips we support
#rather than the cards they are based on, since the cards are more
#ephemeral. Beware: different revisions of a card may use different
#chip sets.
#
#Plan 9 can use some basic acceleration features such as filling and
#scrolling rectangles.
#
#NOTE: If your chipset is not listed or listed as not supported, try
#the VESA driver by entering "vesa" as your monitor type.

#KEYBOARDS
#
#Any PS/2 or USB keyboard should work. The bootstraps require PS/2
#"emulation" in your BIOS to make USB keyboards work.
#
#MICE
#
#Plan 9 supports PS/2, PS/2 Intellimouse, and serial mice. USB mice
#are supported via a user-space driver. See usb(4), usbd(4), and
#usb(3).
#
#You will want a 3 button mouse for plan9, using the scroll wheel as
#the middle button is not really satisfactory. The IBM 40K9201 and HP
#DY651A are both good quality USB optical mice with three real
#buttons.
#
#There is preliminary support for the scroll wheel and extra buttons
#as on the Toshiba Portege 3440CT.
#
#Most laptops present their built-in pointing devices as PS/2 mice.
#
#The middle mouse button on the virtual VMware mouse appears not to
#work when running Plan 9 under Windows 2000 on certain laptops,
#notably IBM Thinkpads. To the extent that fault can be assigned, it
#is a hardware bug. The mouse controllers do not follow the same
#protocol that all other 3-button mice do for reporting the button
#count. See

#LAPTOPS
#
#Laptops are often the hardest systems to get Plan 9 running on,
#because you can't choose the hardware piece by piece.
#

#FLOPPY DISKS
#
#Plan 9 supports generic floppy drives, although some people have had
#trouble accessing them. If you have trouble accessing your 3.5"
#floppy drive and also have a 5.25" floppy drive, try disabling the
#latter in the BIOS.
#
#USB floppy drives are not supported.
#
#MAGNETO-OPTICAL DISK JUKEBOXES
#
#Virtually any modern SCSI jukebox will work. The key thing to look
#for (probably on the manufacturer's web site) is that the jukebox
#must implement the SCSI SMC (SCSI Media Changer) command set. Media
#(M-O disks) and jukeboxes can be had cheaply on ebay.com. We have
#had good experience with these models on Plan 9 file servers:
# *	HP 330FX (choline)
# *	HP 160FX (original emelie)
# *	HP 1200EX (emelie)
#
#We've had limited experience with these models (bought used), and
#they failed within a few months, one mechanically and the other
#electronically:
# *	HP 40FX
# *	HP 80EX
#
#The 160FX and up seem to be built much more sturdily than the
#smaller jukeboxes, which are the size of large tower PCs.

#VESA VIDEO CARDS
#
#Plan 9 can attempt to drive video cards using the VESA BIOS
#extensions instead of using drivers specific to particular chips. To
#use VESA, choose "vesa" as your monitor type during the CD boot or
#when making an install floppy.
#
#The following cards are known to work using VESA. (Cards not listed
#here are still worth trying!)
# *	Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (Dell desktops)
# *	Intel 82845G Integrated Graphics Controller (Compaq Evo D510 SFF)
# *	Intel 855GM Integrated Graphics Device (Thinkpad X40)
# *	Radeon 9200 Mobile (Compaq NX7010)
# *	Radeon Mobility 9600 (ThinkPad T42p)
# *	Radeon Mobility 7500 M7 LW (Compaq Presario 1500)
# *	Radeon R200 QH (Fire GL 8700 and 8800)
# *	Radeon RV280 (9200 SL)

# *	SiS630 onboard
# *	SiS630 ST onboard ([JVC MP-XP3 |
#	http://9fans.net/archive/2009/12/291])
# *	VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700 VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
#
#(Some of the cards in this list have been moved to the main table)
#
#The following cards are known not to work with VESA:
# *	Neomagic NM2360/MagicMedia 256ZX (Thinkpad 600X): Blank screen.
# *	Cirrus Logic CL-GD5436/46 (no VESA support?)
# *	AMD Geode GX2. Blank screen. Bug identified by Russ Cox, but hard
#	to solve.
#
#VGA CARDS AND CHIPSETS
#
#For VGA cards it is more precise to describe the chips we support
#rather than the cards they are based on, since the cards are more
#ephemeral. Beware: different revisions of a card may use different
#chip sets.
#
#Plan 9 can use some basic acceleration features such as filling and
#scrolling rectangles.
#
#NOTE: If your chipset is not listed or listed as not supported, try
#the VESA driver by entering "vesa" as your monitor type.

#FLOPPY DISKS
#
#Plan 9 supports generic floppy drives, although some people have had
#trouble accessing them. If you have trouble accessing your 3.5"
#floppy drive and also have a 5.25" floppy drive, try disabling the
#latter in the BIOS.
#
#USB floppy drives are not supported.
#
#MAGNETO-OPTICAL DISK JUKEBOXES
#
#Virtually any modern SCSI jukebox will work. The key thing to look
#for (probably on the manufacturer's web site) is that the jukebox
#must implement the SCSI SMC (SCSI Media Changer) command set. Media
#(M-O disks) and jukeboxes can be had cheaply on ebay.com. We have
#had good experience with these models on Plan 9 file servers:
# *	HP 330FX (choline)
# *	HP 160FX (original emelie)
# *	HP 1200EX (emelie)
#
#We've had limited experience with these models (bought used), and
#they failed within a few months, one mechanically and the other
#electronically:
# *	HP 40FX
# *	HP 80EX
#
#The 160FX and up seem to be built much more sturdily than the
#smaller jukeboxes, which are the size of large tower PCs.

#VESA VIDEO CARDS
#
#Plan 9 can attempt to drive video cards using the VESA BIOS
#extensions instead of using drivers specific to particular chips. To
#use VESA, choose "vesa" as your monitor type during the CD boot or
#when making an install floppy.
#
#The following cards are known to work using VESA. (Cards not listed
#here are still worth trying!)
# *	Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (Dell desktops)
# *	Intel 82845G Integrated Graphics Controller (Compaq Evo D510 SFF)
# *	Intel 855GM Integrated Graphics Device (Thinkpad X40)
# *	Radeon 9200 Mobile (Compaq NX7010)
# *	Radeon Mobility 9600 (ThinkPad T42p)
# *	Radeon Mobility 7500 M7 LW (Compaq Presario 1500)
# *	Radeon R200 QH (Fire GL 8700 and 8800)
# *	Radeon RV280 (9200 SL)
# *	Nvidia Quadro4 980 XGL
# *	SiS630 onboard
# *	SiS630 ST onboard ([JVC MP-XP3 |
#	http://9fans.net/archive/2009/12/291])
# *	VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700 VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
#
#(Some of the cards in this list have been moved to the main table)
#
#The following cards are known not to work with VESA:
# *	Neomagic NM2360/MagicMedia 256ZX (Thinkpad 600X): Blank screen.
# *	Cirrus Logic CL-GD5436/46 (no VESA support?)
# *	AMD Geode GX2. Blank screen. Bug identified by Russ Cox, but hard
#	to solve.
#
#VGA CARDS AND CHIPSETS
#
#For VGA cards it is more precise to describe the chips we support
#rather than the cards they are based on, since the cards are more
#ephemeral. Beware: different revisions of a card may use different
#chip sets.
#
#Plan 9 can use some basic acceleration features such as filling and
#scrolling rectangles.
#
#NOTE: If your chipset is not listed or listed as not supported, try
#the VESA driver by entering "vesa" as your monitor type.

#
# *	[LSI Logic | http://www.lsilogic.com] 53C8xx and 53C1010
#	chipsets, e.g., cards from: Tekram, LSI Logic, Symbios, Compaq,
#	NCR, I-O DATA, ASUS. The chip numbers matter more than the brand.
#	LSI Logic now owns Symbios and Mylex. You may need to configure the
#	SCSI BIOS to "START UNIT" (spin up) the bootable drive so I/O works
#	for the main BIOS. Also, beware 53C1020/1030 cards--they are
#	"Fusion/MPT" and cannot be supported by this driver.
# *	Buslogic BT-948 or BT-958 (AKA Mylex multimaster series). These
#	aren't being made any more, but you might be able to buy them used.
# *	Adaptec 1540 or 1542 for the ISA bus
# *	Ultrastor 14F ISA or 34F VLB
#
#KEYBOARDS
#
#Any PS/2 or USB keyboard should work. The bootstraps require PS/2
#"emulation" in your BIOS to make USB keyboards work.
#
#MICE
#
#Plan 9 supports PS/2, PS/2 Intellimouse, and serial mice. USB mice
#are supported via a user-space driver. See usb(4), usbd(4), and
#usb(3).
#
#You will want a 3 button mouse for plan9, using the scroll wheel as
#the middle button is not really satisfactory. The IBM 40K9201 and HP
#DY651A are both good quality USB optical mice with three real
#buttons.
#
#There is preliminary support for the scroll wheel and extra buttons
#as on the Toshiba Portege 3440CT.
#
#Most laptops present their built-in pointing devices as PS/2 mice.
#
#The middle mouse button on the virtual VMware mouse appears not to
#work when running Plan 9 under Windows 2000 on certain laptops,
#notably IBM Thinkpads. To the extent that fault can be assigned, it
#is a hardware bug. The mouse controllers do not follow the same
#protocol that all other 3-button mice do for reporting the button
#count. See
#[http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2002-May/017472.html] for a
#Windows workaround.
#

#
#Laptops are often the hardest systems to get Plan 9 running on,

#FLOPPY DISKS
#
#Plan 9 supports generic floppy drives, although some people have had
#trouble accessing them. If you have trouble accessing your 3.5"
#floppy drive and also have a 5.25" floppy drive, try disabling the
#latter in the BIOS.
#
#USB floppy drives are not supported.
#
#MAGNETO-OPTICAL DISK JUKEBOXES
#
#Virtually any modern SCSI jukebox will work. The key thing to look
#for (probably on the manufacturer's web site) is that the jukebox
#must implement the SCSI SMC (SCSI Media Changer) command set. Media
#(M-O disks) and jukeboxes can be had cheaply on ebay.com. We have
#had good experience with these models on Plan 9 file servers:
# *	HP 330FX (choline)
# *	HP 160FX (original emelie)
# *	HP 1200EX (emelie)
#
#We've had limited experience with these models (bought used), and
#they failed within a few months, one mechanically and the other
#electronically:
# *	HP 40FX
# *	HP 80EX
#
#The 160FX and up seem to be built much more sturdily than the
#smaller jukeboxes, which are the size of large tower PCs.
