Supported Hardware Wiki - Request for Help

Martin Iturbide:
Sorry, I was not clear.  If you want to have "something", you can help me port the OS2Warp.be site to the OS2World wiki and have it's content under Creative Commons.  Otherwise, it is only good intentions. 

Please if anybody wants to help just join the Wiki with the same userid and password of this forum.

Regards

Martin Iturbide:
Look, in ten minutes I got a decent draft of moving this article to the wiki.

ivan:
Sorry Martin, I was under the impression that you not only wanted to import the .be site but also to increase the amount of hardware that will run OS/2 eCS by getting information from the users of that equipment.

Really? I'm pretty sure we should aim at the other 99% of users, Ivan.

An HTML form might work for simple add in cards, USB adapters etc but howmany pages would you need to give full information about a motherboard?  Especially where you need to note the changes that need to be made to the BIOS to get it to boot, what order the HD controllers need to be in etc.

Your idea would work if all that was needed were responses like 'works', 'takes some time to set up', 'sound not working' or 'sound only works with xyz driver'.

Do you want users just to send the PCI.EXE output? Wow, that's easier to do with a web browser too!

If you don't quite understand: that wouldn't be hard to parse the PCI.EXE output on client's side (JS) and dynamically prepare the corresponding amount of additional forms for each device outputted by PCI.EXE for the user to leave a comment to each of them.

No, seriously, a text template?

ivan:
Boris, we will have to agree to differ on that but in my 50+ years in IT and Engineering I have found that keeping it as simple as possible works better but YMMV.
