1.41 ! miod 23: OpenBSD/amiga runs on the Amiga machines manufactured by Commodore.
! 24: It requires a Motorola 68020 or better processor, with an external Motorola
! 25: 68851 PMMU in case of a 68020.
! 26: This leaves out models 500, 600 and 1000 which can not receive accelerator
! 27: boards.

! 36: There is currently no one working on bringing this port back to life.
! 37: The source code is still available in the CVS Attic, and code can be found in
! 38: NetBSD as well.

! 56:
! 57: <p>
! 58: The OpenBSD/amiga was initially derived from NetBSD/amiga in 1995, and
! 59: used to loosely track the NetBSD changes until 1998. Niklas Hallqvist also
! 60: wrote a new interrupt remapping system, improving average performance,
! 61: revamped the installation media, and ported the ISA bus support to a
! 62: big-endian platform, for GoldenGate II and CrossLink cards.
! 63: </p>
! 64:
! 65: <p>
! 66: After a few years, due to the lack of users, this port was slowly left in
! 67: oblivion, although releases were still being made. Eventually, it was decided
! 68: to stop supporting it and remove the code from the tree.
