<h3><font color="#0000e0">History and Status:</font></h3>

<p>
The Amiga port is basically the same as the NetBSD/amiga port
but with some additions. The major changes are:
</p>

<ul>
<li>New interrupt remapping system.</li>
<li>Support for using ISA peripherals via a bridgecard.</li>
<li>Supports <a href="http://www.infinet.com/~erd/GG2/">GG2 Bus+</a>
(aka GoldenGate II) and CrossLink bridgecards
(Neither of these support ISA DMA thus no PC floppy support)</li>
<li>Tested ISA devices are
<ul>
<li>com (Standard PC serial ports)</li>
<li>lpt (Standard PC parallel ports)</li>
<li>ast (AST 4-port serial card)</li>
<li>wd (IDE harddisk)</li>
<li>acd (IDE ATAPI CD, both data &amp; audio support)</li>
<li>if_ed, although named if_isaed due to name clash
(dp8390 based ethernet cards, like 3c503, NE2000 &amp; SMC Ultra).</li>
</ul>
Others should port easily as long as DMA isn't necessary.</li>
<li>SunOS emulation can use shared libraries on the '040</li>
<li>Understand BSD disklabels if Amiga RDB partitioning is not found.</li>
<li>Ramdisk device for easy installs</li>
</ul>
