+This file lists hardware, which doesn't do what it should do.
+
+Due to the nature of FreeBSD, we do not have the resources to test all
+possible kinds of hardware.  We do however every now and then find, buy
+or hear about hardware which doesn't work with FreeBSD or in general.
+
+This is that list.
+
+To be added to this list, a piece of hardware has to:
+	A: not do what it claims.
+or
+	B: not do what common sense would expect it to.
+
+Only if performance claims are wildly of the mark will it be listed here.
+
+All entries must have a date and a mail-address associated with them, to
+reflect when and by whom they were added.
+For multifunctional devices, please indicate if other parts of the device
+work OK, or are untested.
+For mutual incompabilities, list both devices.
+For SCSI and IDE-devices, list the string seen on boot of FreeBSD, if 
+possible, and trade name.
+Infer format from other entries, Keep sorted by first line.
+
+Thankyou.

+Controller, Data Technology DTC2280, "PC/AT Super I/O Card"
+IDE interface can be set to secondary address, but doesn't work there.  Suspect
+Interrupt isn't moved along.  Works fine on primary address.  Other parts of
+card not tested.

+IDE-disk, <WDC AC2540H>, "Western Digital Caviar 2540"
+IDE-disk, <Maxtor 7345 AT>, "Maxtor 7345"
+Cannot coexist on the same IDE-controller.
+Jumpers not exhaustively experimented with, as neither of the companies 
+make sufficient information available.  Disk works fine when alone on
+IDE-controller.

+IDE-disk, <AC31000> "Western Digital Caviar 31000"
+IDE-disk, <ST3550A> "Seagate ST3550A"
+Western Digital AC31000 (Caviar 31000) 1080 meg IDE drive will not
+co-exist with a Seagate ST3550A.
+The Seagate as master causes a constant drive light and system lockup,
+The WD will work fine alone or as master, but the Seagate is inaccessable
+if configured as slave in this config.

+On Packard Bell computers with a BIOS Reference ID of less than 25, Packard
+Bell will replace the BIOS at no charge.  I waited, I got the bios, popped
+the case, popped the chip, put in the new, and plugged in the drives.  It
+works.  WD as master, seagate as slave.
