To be honest, I don't know if we (Digital) are
keeping such a list anywhere.  I'd expect it to be
somewhere in the sales or marketing organizations,
if anywhere.

Also keep in mind that "known to work" is not the
same level of confidence that we have in the devices
we sell, which get extensive internal and external
testing in the qualification process.

The general problem is quite hard, since it often
involves revisions of firmware for each device,
which can, of course, even get broken from revision
to revision.
