I want to list HW differences between Atari
machines emulated by Hatari, so I'm opting for
listing different Shifter versions, and option
for upgrading CPU for ST etc.
(Shifter variants could be listed on one line
with "ST, STE or TT Shifter".)
I'm still wondering should I list also joypads...
Any more comments?

for the ones common to all
(FDC, IKBD, MFP, MIDI, PSG, RS-232...).

[1] Requires EmuTOS or TOS 2.06
[2] Requires EmuTOS or Linux
[3] Add-on, supported since TOS 1.02
[4] Some features missing from Hatari
[5] 68030+ is add-on, requires EmuTOS or TOS 2.06
[6] Only partial support in Hatari
[7] Hatari patches support for this to TOS v4.04
(512k version of EmuTOS included with Hatari binary packages supports
all Atari HW except
for Falcon DSP & Videl HiColor mode.)
