New form version!

Everyone, the Add Hardware form has gotten another nice update to its third version. In addition to changes I’d made before to the previous version (which included adding a NVMe checkbox per Haiku’s recent work in that area, and status entries for sound, webcam, network, graphics, power, and restarting), there’s been another series of changes to make this version more useful for power users.

First, I’ve noticed from the old spreadsheet that it’s not always clear what base or mainboard a custom computer is using. So, if you have a custom machine, there’s a suggested part to list a board now (which I’d added in recently per advice). Haiku version options have been split by branch and arch now (with an Other option for whoever isn’t using x86/x64), and ratings are now clearer with a better 1 - 4 rating scale, which helps get things ready for when Beta 2 and beyond are out.

The second page also adds a nice batch of tweaked or new (hopefully useful) options. You can now choose FireWire, Thunderbolt, or Lightning storage as startup media (particularly useful if you use Mac hardware like I do), and there’s now a distinction between a standard SSD/HD and built-in or eMMC storage (which I’ve been finding some manufacturers are adding now), and it’s now possible to check both UEFI and BIOS/CSM options. Haiku boot options are now all listed with check boxes, so you can check which ones you used to start Haiku with, rather than the vague “Did you use boot options?” from before – and that includes a new framebuffer option and debug options from the boot menu as well. Graphics and sound status now add a third choice, and finally, as most of the hardware entries that have been coming in are for portable computers like notebooks/netbooks and laptops, I’ve added options for the keyboard and trackpad/TouchPad and touch input.

Lastly, the contributor line is now a required option, however, if you don’t want your name listed, just type “none”, “anonymous”, “unlisted”, “don’t list” or something similar, and if you wish, your name won’t be listed. But my hope is that this will allow more people to be recognized, and this small change was made to help with any new hardware testers or contributors who may have missed this opportunity in previous versions.

All this said, the old form is now obsoleted and it has been replaced by the new one. I’ve added the fresh links to the new form in the top post, on the Haiku Computer List page, and in this post, so please use v3.0 for submitting new hardware:
