1.5. Known problems with this document
This document can't possibly be up−to−date at all times. I would like to see this document be a useful
reference again. The following items need to be fixed for that to happen:
Old cruft needs to be eliminated. Much of this document was written in 1995, give or take, when PCI
was new and not supported terribly well, and ISA PnP was seen as something evil. Oh, how the times
have changed...
Also, many of the model numbers listed in this document are no longer available, and are probably
not of much interest to the vast majority of people. Personally, I think hardware that hasn't been
available for more than 5 years or so can safely be removed. Old versions of this document will
always be available on the Internet...
•
URLs in this document need updating. I've begun to do that, but it is a big job... Diffs are welcome.•
In the process of updating and converting this document to DocBook, some cruft was introduced. If
anyone wants to help clean up this, get the latest source (preferably by emailing me at
•
Lists in this HOWTO that are available in other HOWTOs or FAQs need to be either updated here or
dropped completely from this document.
•
Newer interfaces such as USB need to be added into the list. (Would a USB−attached hard drive go
under "USB", "Removable drives", "Hard drives", or all of the above?)
•
And, of course, random hardware that just isn't listed in this document needs to be added.•
All of this is going to require a lot of work. If this happens to interest you, please email
