1.48 miod 22: OpenBSD/amiga used to run on the Amiga machines manufactured by Commodore.
23: It used to require a Motorola 68020 or better processor, with an external
24: Motorola 68851 PMMU in case of a 68020.
25: This left out models 500, 600 and 1000 which can not receive accelerator
1.41 miod 26: boards.

33:
34: <p>
35: There is currently no one working on bringing this port back to life.
36: The source code is still available in the CVS Attic, and code can be found in
37: NetBSD as well.

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