This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. Please list any caveats or problems as well.
- ONLY add hardware that you have TESTED. Don't add hardware just because you think it might work.
- Please add hardware into tables.
- This is for 10.4.9 builds only.

Everything seems to works smoothly, SATA, network, USB. Audio works stereo, but output jack is mic in by default!
- To fix that (to change it back to the line out) you must modify the file '/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext/Contents/Info.plist'
- Find the line with <string>ADS75 ADS74 ADS73 ADS72</string>
- Change it with <string>ADS75 ADS74 ADS73 ADS72 ADS70</string>
- The next step is to load the AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext#Change any one of them (ADS75 ADS74 ADS73 ADS72) to ADS70
With the 10.4.6 myz install disc + jaz 10.4.7 update: video with VESA 3.0 driver, no CI, no QE (no kext load, not even if editing the 830.kext). Recognized as an ADP2,1 (development platform).
