+ OpenBSD/hp300 runs on most of the HP 9000 series 300 and 400 workstations, based
+ on the Motorola 680x0 processor family.
+

+
+ There is currently no maintainer for this port, although

OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
***************
*** 30,168 ****
! The hp300 port has now also switched to the regular config(8) for kernel
! configuration. This enables the port to support things like
! User Kernel Config and, in the future, the generic SCSI sub-system.
!
Supported Hardware:
!
CPUs:
!
!
68020-based: 318, 319, 320, 330, and 350.
!
68030-based: 340, 345, 360, 370, 375, and 400(1).
!
68040-based: 380, 385, 425(1), and 433(1).

!
SCSI-I(2), including magneto-optical and CD-ROM.
!
Tape drives:
!
Low-density HP-IB/CS80 cartridge: 7914, 7946, and 9144.
!
High-density HP-IB/CS80 cartridge: 9145.

!
SCSI: HP DAT, Exabyte, and SCSI QIC drives such as the Archive Viper.
-
RS232 interfaces:
!
98644 built-in and add-on card single port (dca).
!
98642 4-port mux (dcm).
!
98638 8-port mux (dcm).
!
400-series Apollo 3-port serial/keyboard mux (apci).
! (The first port is typically configured as a dca device.)
!
Network interfaces:
!
98643 built-in and add-on LAN cards.
-
Displays:
!
98543, 98544, 98545, and 98547 color and monochrome Topcat.
!
98548, 98549, 98550, and A1416A color and monochrome Catseye.
!
98700 and 98710 Gatorbox.
!
98720 and 98721 Renaissance.
!
98730 and 98731 DaVinci.

! mice(3), and ID module.
!
400-series Apollo keyboards (currently only supported by the bootblocks)
!
Miscellaneous:
!
Battery-backed real-time clock.
!
98624 built-in HP-IB interface.
!
98625A and 98625B `fast' HP-IB interface.
!
98658A built-in and add-on SCSI interface.
!
Printers and plotters on RS232 and HP-IB.
!
SCSI autochanger.
-
! (1) 400-series machines configured for Domain/OS are not fully
! supported; the ROMs must be in HP-UX mode in order to boot the system.
! See the hp300 FAQ page for information on how to
! change the ROM mode.
!
! (2) SCSI-II drives are known to work, though this may require
! changing a jumper on some drives. See your disk's documentation for details.
!
! (3) Serial mice connected to a HIL to quad converter are also
! known to work.
! Much more information about hardware configuration may be found on the
! hp300 FAQ page.
!
!
Notably Unsupported Hardware:
!
SGC bus on the 425e (and some 4XXt machines),
! and the associated frame buffers.
!
310 and all other 68010 based systems.
!
!
Compatibility Notes and Known Bugs:
! OpenBSD/hp300 is known to run sun3 SunOS binaries via the
! COMPAT_SUNOS kernel option (a few have been tested and work).
! COMPAT_HPUX is also available, but has not been tested
! recently.
! Slower machines may sometimes have problems booting from
! a serial console. The symptom of this are panics during the kernel
! autoconfiguration process; this can be avoided by using faster/different
! terminals or by eliminating the terminal's use of flow control.
! Working support for the 425e was added after the 2.9 release but this
! model is only supported with a serial console on the first serial port.
! Over the time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
! port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
! This enables the port to support things like
! User Kernel Config and, in the future, the generic SCSI subsystem.
+
+ Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
+ using a serial console on the first serial port.

Current status:
+ Currently, all the hardware listed in the
+ supported hardware list section below boots
+ multi-user, and supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally
+ useable, unless specified otherwise.

+
+ OpenBSD/hp300 is able to run sun3 SunOS binaries via the

+ COMPAT_HPUX is also available for HP-UX binaries, but has
+ not been tested recently (but this used to be enough get HP-UX X11 environment
