! OpenBSD/arc runs on the machines compatible with the Advanced RISC Computing specification, known as ARC machines, based on MIPS processors and initially designed to run Microsoft Windows NT. ! Such machines include the long dead Acer PICA, as well other machines manufactured by other companies such as MIPS, Deskstation, NEC, and Olivetti.
! The ARC specification is extinct, and no new ARC BIOS machines for MIPS will ! likely be manufactured. ! Microsoft has announced that it will no longer support MIPS after NT 4.0. ! OpenBSD/arc used to provide a good alternative to NT.
