- <h4>Supported peripherals</h4>
- <p>
- While most models support expansion via PCI many PCI devices may work.
- However each device has to be tested before they will be listed here as
- supported so if support for a particular device is wanted, suitable hardware
- must be made available to a developer who can test and verify functionality.
