OpenBSD/cats runs on the
<a href="http://www.simtec.co.uk/">Simtec Electronics</a>
<a href="http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/EB110ATX/">StrongARM
110 Evaluation Board</a>.
</p>
<p>
A mailing list for ARM-based ports is available at
<u><font color="#23238e">arm@openbsd.org</font></u>.
To join the OpenBSD/arm mailing list, send a message body of
<b>"subscribe arm"</b> to
<a href="mailto:majordomo@openbsd.org">majordomo@openbsd.org</a>.
Please be sure to check our <a href="mail.html">mailing list policy</a> before
subscribing.
<p>
The current port maintainer is Dale Rahn
(<a href="mailto:drahn@openbsd.org">drahn@openbsd.org</a>).
Others are definitely welcome to contribute!
We are also evaluating other possible ARM platforms.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
OpenBSD/cats was started based on NetBSD -current code of January 2004.
</p>
<hr>
<a name="status"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
The Simtec StrongARM 110 Evaluation Board is the only supported board at
the current time.
</p>

<a name="X11"></a>
<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>X11:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
The port is too young to think about graphics, however vga console text
mode is supported.
<!-- XFree86 has only been tested using the accelerated ATI driver,
the classic vga driver and drivers for other firmware supported
video have not been tested.
<p>
Directions on enabling the accelerated X server can be found
in the <tt>/usr/X11R6/README</tt> file on the installed system.
