Hello,
I ordered a custom machine with it's accessories after asking the dealer about it's compatibiliy with FreeBSD.
I knew later from others, that not all the part I got will support BSD. If you can help me with just mentioning
the name of the device that is not compatible I will be thankful.
Graphic Card: nVIDIA GeForce3 Ti200
No 3D acceleration yet, but 2d should work.
Printer: HP DeskJet 640C USB
This might be supported. gimp-print claims limited support for the 600 series.
Printer switch: StarTeck AS-9251 , Parallel Auto Switch
Unless your printer has a parallel port this won't work with it.
KVM Switch: StarView SV431 Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor 4 Port Sharing Switch PS/2 and Serial Mouse.
KVM switches are mostly iffy. It may work or may not. The issue is usuall mouse support.
UPS: Belkin F6C500-USB 500VA upto 30 minutes battery back-up time. Automatic Voltage Regulation, Shutdown software CD, USB device cable, Internet Line Plus Splitter and 10Base-T Network Protection.
The included software probably won't work.
