yes .... google has the complete list of approved products
no ..... you have to do it one item at a time .... but that
was expected, that you look up each item one at a time ??
since your specification is about as vague as it can be, alll
of the items you listed will "probably" work
what might not work ...
- soft modems ( modems that doesnt have a uart chip )
- whacky sound chipsets
( sound blaster compatible doesn't mean it is )
- whacky motherboard chipsets
( new chipset with newer features or really old ones )
- whacky svga chipsets
( nvidia and ati chipsets are fun for old systems or too new )
- ..
"whacky" --> everybody has their favorite boards
that didn't work in the system they were building
or gave up debugging since it's cheaper to get a new
working replacement board for $20 or $80 or ??
than to spend 5min or 1hr of debugging time
( all of the time is billable time to the clients )
