+Debian does not impose hardware requirements beyond the requirements
+of the Linux kernel and the GNU tool-sets.  Therefore, any
+architecture or platform to which the Linux kernel, libc,
+<command>gcc</command>, etc. have been ported, and for which a Debian
+port exists, can run Debian. Please refer to the Ports pages at
+<ulink url="&url-ports;"></ulink> for
+more details on &arch-title; architecture systems which have been
+tested with Debian.

+Some hardware manufacturers simply won't tell us how to write drivers

+without a non-disclosure agreement that would prevent us from
+releasing the Linux source code.
+
+</para><para arch="m68k"> 
+
+Another example is the proprietary hardware in the older
+Macintosh line. In fact, no specifications or documentation have ever
+been released for any Macintosh hardware, most notably the ADB
+controller (used by the mouse and keyboard), the floppy controller,
+and all acceleration and CLUT manipulation of the video hardware
+(though we do now support CLUT manipulation on nearly all internal
+video chips).  In a nutshell, this explains why the Macintosh Linux
+port lags behind other Linux ports.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Since we haven't been granted access to the documentation on these
+devices, they simply won't work under Linux. You can help by asking

+  <sect2 arch="i386"><title>Windows-specific Hardware</title>
+<para>
+
+A disturbing trend is the proliferation of Windows-specific modems and
+printers. In some cases these are specially designed to be operated by
+the Microsoft Windows operating system and bear the legend
+``WinModem'' or ``Made especially for Windows-based computers''. This
+is generally done by removing the embedded processors of the hardware
+and shifting the work they do over to a Windows driver that is run by
+your computer's main CPU. This strategy makes the hardware less
+expensive, but the savings are often <emphasis>not</emphasis> passed on to the
+user and this hardware may even be more expensive than equivalent
+devices that retain their embedded intelligence.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You should avoid Windows-specific hardware for two reasons. The first
+is that the manufacturers do not generally make the resources
+available to write a Linux driver. Generally, the hardware and
+software interface to the device is proprietary, and documentation is
+not available without a non-disclosure agreement, if it is available
+at all. This precludes its being used for free software, since free
+software writers disclose the source code of their programs. The
+second reason is that when devices like these have had their embedded
+processors removed, the operating system must perform the work of the
+embedded processors, often at <emphasis>real-time</emphasis> priority,
+and thus the CPU is not available to run your programs while it is
+driving these devices. Since the typical Windows user does not
+multi-process as intensively as a Linux user, the manufacturers hope
+that the Windows user simply won't notice the burden this hardware
+places on their CPU.  However, any multi-processing operating system,
+even Windows 2000 or XP, suffers from degraded performance when
+peripheral manufacturers skimp on the embedded processing power of
+their hardware.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You can help this situation by encouraging these manufacturers to
+release the documentation and other resources necessary for us to
+program their hardware, but the best strategy is simply to avoid this
+sort of hardware until it is listed as working in the 
+<ulink url="&url-hardware-howto;">Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO</ulink>.

+<para>
+
+Currently the <emphasis>&architecture;</emphasis> port supports
+several types of Sparc systems. The most common identifiers for Sparc
+systems are sun4, sun4c, sun4m, sun4d and sun4u. Currently we do not
+support very old sun4 hardware. However, the other systems are
+supported. Sun4d has been tested the least of these, so expect
+possible problems with regard to the kernel stability. Sun4c and
+Sun4m, the most common of the older Sparc hardware, includes such
+systems as SparcStation 1, 1+, IPC, IPX and the SparcStation LX, 5,
+10, and 20, respectively. The UltraSPARC class systems fall under the
+sun4u identifier, and are supported using the sun4u set of install
+images. Some systems that fall under these supported identifiers are
+known to not be supported. Known unsupported systems are the AP1000
+multicomputer and the Tadpole Sparcbook 1. See the 
+<ulink url="&url-sparc-linux-faq;">Linux for SPARCProcessors FAQ</ulink> 
+for complete information.

+   <sect3><title>Memory Configuration</title>
+<para>
+
+Some older Sun workstations, notably the Sun IPX and Sun IPC have
+memory banks located at fixed locations in physical memory.  Thus if
+the banks are not filled gaps will exist in the physical memory space.
+The Linux installation requires a contiguous memory block into which
+to load the kernel and the initial RAMdisk.  If this is not available a
+`Data Access Exception' will result.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Thus you must configure the memory so that the lowest memory block is
+contiguous for at least 8Mb.  In the IPX and IPC cited above, memory banks
+are mapped in at 16Mb boundaries.  In effect this means that you must have
+a sufficiently large SIMM in bank zero to hold the kernel and RAMdisk.
+In this case 4Mb is <emphasis>not</emphasis> sufficient.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Example:
+In a Sun IPX you have a 16Mb SIMM and a 4Mb SIMM.  There are four
+SIMM banks (0,1,2,3). [Bank zero is that furthest away from the SBUS
+connectors]. You must therefore install the 16Mb SIMM in bank 0; it is
+then recommended to install the 4Mb SIMM in bank 2. 
+
+</para>
+   </sect3>
+
+   <sect3><title>Graphics Configuration</title>
+<para>
+
+Especially in the case of older Sun workstations, it is very common
+for there to be an onboard framebuffer which has been superseded (for
+example the bwtwo on a sun IPC), and an SBUS card containing a later
+probably accelerated buffer is then plugged in to an SBUS slot.
+Under Solaris/SunOS this causes no problems because both cards are
+initialised.  
+
+</para><para>
+
+However with Linux this can cause a problem, in that the boot PROM
+monitor may display its output on this additional card; however the
+linux kernel boot messages may then be directed to the original on
+board framebuffer, leaving <emphasis>no</emphasis> error messages on
+the screen, with the machine apparently stuck loading the RAMdisk.
+
+</para><para>
+
+To avoid this problem, connect the monitor (if required) to the video
+card in the lowest numbered SBUS slot (on motherboard card counts 
+as below external slots).  Alternatively it is possible to use a serial
+console.
