+<sup>1)</sup>FreeBSD: using ATAPI drives requires loading the <i>atapicam</i> kernel module -- see INSTALL doc<br>
+<sup>2)</sup>Due to unresolved problems with the build system. However 64bit
+support currently provides no significant improvements over the 32bit version.<br>
+<sup>3)</sup>Later Versions up to Windows 7 have been reported to work.
+Windows 2000 SP3 and earlier versions are not supported.<br>
+<sup>4)</sup>Support for multicore processors varies. On some editions using additional
+cores for dvdisaster does not result in more performance.
