<h2>OpenBSD/alpha</h2>

<hr>
<h3><strong>History and Status:</strong></h3>

<p>
The alpha port has no architecture specific changes from the
NetBSD/alpha port.  However, it's verified and running stably.
Currently <a href="http://www.appli.se/niklas/">Niklas Hallqvist</a>
<a href=mailto:niklas@openbsd.org>&lt;niklas@openbsd.org&gt;</a> is
maintaining the port.  Like in NetBSD, the port won't compile with only
in-tree tools, but that is being addressed.
</p>

<h3><strong>Projects (in no particular order):</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>Build a binary snapshot release.
<li>Make the port self-hosting (i.e. only using in-tree tools).
<li>Add ISA DMA support (needed for floppies & wss).
<li>Add floppy support.
<li>Add WSS audio support.
<li>DDB support.
</ul>
