If there is interest in creating an HCL, I will get something setup on the
wiki and maintain it.

It will however rely on community contribution. As a project we don't have
the resources yet to test every possible bit of kit out there.....

For the time being please feel free to email me and I'll add it to the list.
Something along the lines of.....

Vendor
Model
Works?
Notes/special instructions etc 

Thanks,

Matt

how to make this happen, perhaps a section on the Wiki or something, but
given recent discussion over storage adaptors etc this would be a very
useful resource.
