Recommended hardware

Here’s a useful list of chipsets (found on motherboards) that are documented. Since it’s documented, it’s easy to add support for them & the drivers are less buggy.

If you really care about Open Source, contact the company & ask for hardware documentation/datasheets. We don’t want source code: we want freely available specs.

(Signing an NDA is not an option, we also want to share what we know to other groups out there: *BSD, Linux, Haiku, Minix3 and many other groups in pure open source spirit)

Intel:

ICH7

ICH8 mobile

ICH9

ICH10


CMD/Silicon Image


CMD 648

SiI 680
