<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
OpenBSD/armish is the 3rd OpenBSD port to ARM based machines, after
<a href="cats.html">cats</a> and <a href="zaurus.html">zaurus</a>.
It is intended to support a variety of rather similar ARM-based
machines:

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/DPA/Index.aspx">
    Certance CP3100</a>
<li><a href="http://www.thecus.com/products_over.php?cid=1&pid=1">
    Thecus N2100</a> (plus rebadged versions: Allnet ALL6500, Evesham SilverSTOR M-Box)
<li><a href="http://www.thecus.com/products_spec.php?cid=1&pid=2">
    Thecus N4100</a> (plus rebadged versions: Allnet ALL6400, Evesham SilverSTOR XS)
<li><a href="http://www.iodata.com/products/products.php?cat=MIJ&sc=REV&pId=HDL-G400U&ts=2&tsc=">
    IO-Data HDL-Gxxx, HDL-GWxxx, and HDL-GZxxx</a> series
</ul>
</p>

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>

<p>
Development is currently pretty active.

<ul>
<li>The Thecus runs multiuser and boots from disk using it's own bootloader,
or from the network using built-in Redboot.
<li>The IO-Data HDL-G series is multiuser and will soon be able to
boot from disk as well.
</ul>

<p>
Client-side X applications and libraries are available.

<ul>
<li>Finish the Certance CP3100 support
<li>Support more devices
<li>Better support for i2c devices on the Thecus
<li>Redboot flash configuration support
