Tested Hardware
From Isostick
Tested your isostick on hardware? Awesome! Please edit the table below if it worked / didn't work.
Note: You'll need to create and account and confirm your email address to be able to edit this (and any other) page.
Some things to note / consider:
- Keep the data sorted by column / subcolumn. Use alpha sort for text fields, and sort by the newest / highest revision for BIOS and isostick FW revisions.
- If you've posted about tips / tricks / issues / etc on a forum or webpage, please link to it. There's not enough space in the table for full details for every device.
- If you have hardware that doesn't work, and are willing to potentially help debug an issue, post a link to a way to contact you in the owners column. Don't post your email address directly, though, unless you love spam from everyone on the internet.
- Don't remove old data - admins will curate it when the data is no longer needed.
Have any questions? Post to the talk page or the forums, and someone will take a look and try to help you out.
