What non-monotheistic hardware does Plan 9 support these days?
Starting with VGA hardware, let's cull the obsolete from the list.

If you run any of the below-listed VGA gear under a current (4ed+)
release, send an aux/vga dump (to me).

Some weeks from now I will collapse and update the wiki list.

can drive. The following chips/cards are supported:

Why?  It seems like this will only make it harder
for people with old hardware to tell if it is supported.
For example, the SuperSavage IXC/16 is a very old 
card at this point, but if I were putting together a 
Plan 9 system I'd still be more than happy to throw
one of those in.

i think those are used by some of the T23s,
which are respectable machines (at least for Plan 9)
that can still be found at quite reasonable prices.

What non-monotheistic hardware does Plan 9 support these days?
Starting with VGA hardware, let's cull the obsolete from the list.

If you run any of the below-listed VGA gear under a current (4ed+)
release, send an aux/vga dump (to me).

Some weeks from now I will collapse and update the wiki list.

--lyndon

Plan 9 will automatically recognize the PCI Ethernet cards that it
can drive. The following chips/cards are supported:

 *	3Com 3C562, 3C589, and 3C589E PCMCIA
 *	3Com 3C450, 3C575, 3C59x, 3C90x, 3CSOHO100-TX
 *	Accton EtherPair-PCMCIA EN2216
 *	Alteon, DEC, or SGI Acenic fiber Gigabit
 *	AMD 79C970
 *	D-Link DFE-538TX, DFE-560TXD
 *	Dell TrueMobile 1150 wireless
 *	Digital (now Intel) 2114x and clones. (Tulip, PIC, PIC-II,
	Centaur, Digital DE-500)
 *	EtherFast 10/100 PC Card

Plan 9 can use some basic acceleration features such as filling and
scrolling rectangles.
