Thanks for explanation and adding color coding :)

Hello, I am grateful that someone started a USb AROS distro, like this https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_Complete_System_HCL#Laptops

Thanks Jeff1138, for the colours you could add "clearly visible in bold" the meaning of each colour, there are many users who may have difficulty guessing the meanings. Thanks also for adding compatibility with AROS One :)

Hello, That's right, I inherited the scheme from the previous people editing it. Yellow is a may work, ie Vesa where you get 2d non accelerated. Some people see fully 2d and 3d as working (ie green). Gray is for hardware not existing usually. The white gaps are where some tests were not completed and need to update (after this time span unlikely though). It also helps understand what era is right for AROS support and what new hardware support may come along. This can all change if people want it to have a different layout

i will buy one because i need it and i will let you know more, anyway it mounts a nvidia 7300 GO with 128 Mb compatible, wifi athereos, hd 120 Gb, the price is very affordable around 50 euro shipped

I don't have it anymore

Do you still have this laptop? Is so can you provide output of PCI Tool, "save devices to RAM"?

I had neil's driver not working

@Jeff1138 Can you explain the color-coding on the list? I guess green means "confirmed working" and red means confirmed "not working". What does yellow mean? And what about "default" gray background. There are for examples entries in default color for realtek 8139 and sis900 for which AROS has drivers. BTW thanks for grouping the hardware in years ranges - this makes lookup so much easier!

@Amiwell79 You mentioned ACER 5630 and said that ethernet network does not work? Do you have this laptop? I ask because Neil created a driver for broadcom 4400 network chipset and this seems to be what this laptop has.

better ebay you save a lot I bought in the European area

I have a general question: what sites should I be checking for availability of second-hard hardware? Ebay? Amazon? Anything else in Europe or North America that makes sense to check?

Deadwood, the Nvidia card I tried, the one from the Cuda family is the NVS 295

al best and thank you(y)

Ok, thanks for clarification

Is there a compatible laptop also is the acer 5630 only the ethernet port does not have the driver

I tested the 290 and natively it works, then I had a 450 and it works in vesa then I didn't have any others

No, what I mean is that you said that other cards from HP Z400 family work only in VESA mode. So my question is which other cards from the family you tested and they failed working with AROS native driver. Or did you misunderstand and you haven't tested any other cards from HP Z400 family then then 290?

Now I don't have the cards here with me, I find out who I sold them to if they were 290 or 295:)

Which other cards from the list have you also tested?
