1.48 ! miod 23: OpenBSD/amiga used to run on the Amiga machines manufactured by Commodore.
! 24: It used to require a Motorola 68020 or better processor, with an external
! 25: Motorola 68851 PMMU in case of a 68020.
! 26: This left out models 500, 600 and 1000 which can not receive accelerator
1.41 miod 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: The OpenBSD/amiga was initially derived from NetBSD/amiga in 1995, and
57: used to loosely track the NetBSD changes until 1998. Niklas Hallqvist also
58: wrote a new interrupt remapping system, improving average performance,
59: revamped the installation media, and ported the ISA bus support to a
60: big-endian platform, for GoldenGate II and CrossLink cards.
61: </p>
62:
63: <p>
64: After a few years, due to the lack of users, this port was slowly left in
65: oblivion, although releases were still being made. Eventually, it was decided
66: to stop supporting it and remove the code from the tree.
