I have an Epson 660C. 486DX2-66, 8mb ram. It runs pretty well. It does have 
kind-o-nice passive screen, and X works well even though the Chips 65540 
video chip set isn't supported in accelerated mode by XF86-3.1.1.

MOstly ethernet cards, some modems. I have heard that there are problems 
with some of the combo modem/ethernet cards. I don't know if SCSI cards are 
supported yet.

Something listed in the notes that come with Steffan's PCMCIA stuff as tested
and "working". :-) I extended it a bit to recognize my cheapo card, and it 
works great except that the ethernet address is all zeros. :-(
