I'm available on weekends. I prefer Saturdays.

After reading this post, I visited the HCL site and was able to find
out supported hardware without actually launching the tool itself.
This was a mostly manual process, bet we on the list can make use of
this.

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.html#regquery

reg query hklm\system\currentcontrolset\enum\pci /s > register.txt

The hardware database is available at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/csv.html

We can open this in Excel, etc, and just search for the matching information.

Next, I'm going to see if the device detection tool can run offline.
Alternatively, either the Belenix CD, or just asking people to send in
the pci registry listing should do just fine.
