Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO: Appendix D. Linux incompatible Hardware 28. Appendix D. Linux incompatible HardwareSome hardware manufacturers have created devices which are compatible with MS-Dos and Windows 95 only. They seem to emulate part of the normally available hardware in the devices by software packages sold together with the device.
