  DeskCheck evaluates documented pre-purchase compatibility.
    It does not diagnose damaged hardware, driver bugs, firmware failures,
    intermittent connections, defective ports, or operating-system faults.
    A PASS means the documented capabilities support the configuration;
    it is not a guarantee against hardware or software defects.
