| 4 | Requirements
|
|---|
| 5 | ------------
|
|---|
| 6 | 1) Graphically list each device in the system, with all the information available for that specific device type:
|
|---|
| 7 | - PCI
|
|---|
| 8 | - USB
|
|---|
| 9 | - SCSI
|
|---|
| 10 | - Bluetooth?
|
|---|
| 11 | - ISA?
|
|---|
| 12 | - ATAPI?
|
|---|
| 13 | - AHCI?
|
|---|
| 14 | - Firewire?
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | 2) Generate a comprehensive text listing of the devices present to allow users to share detailed information with developers
|
|---|
| 17 | - Generate an email with this information attached
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | 3) Let the user generate a report on how well Haiku supports the devices in the system.
|
|---|
| 20 | - Present a list of devices and per device a star rating on the support, and provide a space for comments on the device support.
|
|---|
| 21 | - For each device allow comments
|
|---|
| 22 | - Include all available information for the device (including loaded driver)
|
|---|
| 23 | - Perhaps this can go into the Haikuware compatibility database?
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | 4) Arrange the devices in different orders (by category, by connection, by bus type, by resource assignment?)
