Probably. I say that with total confidence 'cause I *always* miss something 
when I reply, so how could you _not_ miss it. Abject apologies dear lady I'll 
try to do better. <eg>

The compatibility list starts at:

http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compat.php

but the forum at the site is often interesting and informative as well. As 
with most 'Help sites' I read much more than I reply.

I've often said you can learn more about whether a piece of hardware will work 
or not by what people gripe about. Have you noticed that some complaints are

reassuring to know that it's still there.
