do this device or any other works with opensuse?
"UD-3900 docking station is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, & legacy XP systems. Surface RT, Mac OS X, and Linux/Unix are not supported."
"Compatible" means "works with" "Supported" means that they will take support call pertaining to
Watch out, if it says "compatible" I worry a lot. Example. Long ago I bought an external rs232 modem, and it said "compatible with ..." I don't remember what protocol, around 28 K. Well, it turned out that it did not have that protocol in hardware: it needed an specific driver on Windows; but not a system wide driver, but one inside the supplied terminal application. Thus it did not work with my windows tools for Fidonet (Bluewave? Frontodoor?), nor on Linux. It worked at 9600 - or was it 19000? I did not learn. Years later I bought a modem "compatible with V90". Same thing, did not have the protocol in hardware, needed a Windows driver (I was fortunate to sell it to a Windows only friend). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
