According to the installation file, these support the following cards :
They appear to come from the Radeon 7500 Installation CD, just like the Win9x and XP ones we posted earlier (which also support all of the cards above)
This doesn't appear to apply to Plus! for XP, but of course we're talking about other companies' gear working with Microsoft software, not vice versa. The overview also says: "System components [must] operate correctly upon installation of later operating system." This is intended to cover cases where people buy hardware certified for two MS operating systems and install the second one at a later date. Plus! isn't an operating system (not yet, anyway), however, and hasn't been subject to MS Hardware Compatibility Labs testing.
Microsoft does say it has tested adapters using other chipsets: Matrox G400 and G450, SiS300, Trident BladeXP 128 and 3Dlabs Permedia 3. It'll no doubt cheer ATI up to note that Permedia 3 is only listed as meeting basic compatibility requirements for XP, and that Matrox gear seems as yet to have barely troubled the lads in MS HCL as far as XP certification goes.
