30. Appendix B. Linux incompatible Hardware
Some hardware manufacturers have created devices which are compatible with MS−DOS and Windows 95/98
only. They seem to emulate part of the normally available hardware in the devices by software packages sold
together with the device. Specification on these devices are not presented to the world so it is almost
impossible to write drivers for these devices. Below a list of devices reported as being Linux incompatible
will be given.
Simply put, it is best to avoid hardware which states things like "Needs Windows" or "Windows only".
