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.
Note: I will be using FreeBSD 4.4
