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