57: <p>
58: OpenBSD/cats was started based on NetBSD -current code of January 2004.
1.21 deraadt 59: It was used as a reasonably fast foundation to the
1.17 miod 60: <a href="zaurus.html">zaurus</a> port.
61:
62: <p>
63: Once the zaurus port was running well, cats was neglected due to the
1.18 miod 64: (relative) lack of hardware, as well as the deceiving hardware reliability,
65: and was eventually dropped shortly after the inception of the
66: <a href="armish.html">armish</a> port.
