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.
39: If you are interested in reviving the amiga port, make it work and contact

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.
