History and Status:

-The NetBSD/hp300 port is unable to run executables from any of the -other m68k architectures because it uses executables with a 4K page -size. All the other m68k ports use 8K pagesize executables. There -are 3 other m68k ports (sun3, amiga, atari) that use a HARDWARE 8K -pagesize, and will never be able to efficiently run 4K executables. +OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most +types of machine are supported with 68020 or better processors, along with +SCSI and HPIB storage devices.

-As a result, OpenBSD/hp300 was changed to use 8K executables as well. -For compatibility, it can also run the old 4K executables. No -measurable performance losses or filesize increases are incurred by -using 8K pagesize executables. +OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating +system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format +used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
