#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.
|
|
#
|
|
#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.
|
|
#
|
|
#IDE/ATAPI DISKS
|
|
#
|
|
#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).

#CARDBUS AND PCMCIA CONTROLLERS
|
|
#
|
|
#The following cardbus controllers are supported:
|
|
#
|
|
# * Ricoh 476 PCI/Cardbus bridge
|
|
# * Ricoh 478 PCI/Cardbus bridge
|

|
|
# * 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.

# * Digital (now Intel) 21114x PCI Fast Ethernet controller (e.g.,

|
# Digital DE-500). Some PNIC and PNIC2-based cards may also work with

#VGA CARDS AND CHIPSETS
|
|
#
|
|
#For VGA cards more than any other hardware, it is more precise to
|
|
#describe the chips we support rather than the cards they are based
|
|
#on, since the cards are more ephemeral than the chip sets. Beware:
|
|
#different revisions of a card may use different chip sets.
|
|
#
|
|
#Linux users can look at their X server configuration to see which
|
|
#chip set they are using. Windows users can look at ``control panel''
|
|
#-> ``display settings'' -> ``display type'' to find out.
|
|
#
|
|
#Plan 9 uses some basic accelerator for features such as filling and
|
|
#scrolling rectangles. We use none of the 3D features on the cards we
|
|
#support.

|
#Plan 9 supports PS/2 and PS/2 Intellimouse mice as well as serial
|
|
#mice using the Logitech or Microsoft serial mouse protocols. There
|
|
#is preliminary support for the scroll wheel and extra buttons as on
|
|
#the Toshiba Protégé 3440CT.
|
|
#
|
|
#Most laptops present their built-in pointing devices as PS/2 mice.

|
|
#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:
|
|
#
|
|
# * IBM Thinkpad 560, X20, T23
|
|
# * NEC Versa LX, SX
|
|
# * Toshiba Portégé 3440CT
|
|
#
|
|
#The following laptops worked in previous releases and may work in
|
|
#the current one:
|
|
#
|
|
# * AT&T GIS Globalyst 250
|
|
# * NEC Versa 6030X, 6200MX
