Does anybody have or know where to get a list of hardware that is compatible
with Microport V.2.4?  In the manual they only have a list of new hardware
in the release notes (at least, that's all I could find).

I am looking to purchase a PC that I will be able to run this system on, but
I want to make sure my hard drive will be compatible.  Will Microport
support IDE drives (in the docs, they make mention of an ESDI drive, and I
understand that IDE is software compatible with ESDI? Hopefully?)?  I'm
pretty sure it doesn't support SCSI.

Also, any help on compatible or incompatible video options would be of help.

Thanks.
