1.3 fn 48: <p>
1.8 downsj 49: OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
50: types of machine are supported with 68020 or better processors, along with
1.36 miod 51: SCSI and HP-IB storage devices.
1.4 deraadt 52:
53: <p>
1.8 downsj 54: OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
55: system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
56: used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
57:
1.13 downsj 58: <p>
1.32 miod 59: Over the time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
60: port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
61:
62: <p>
63: Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
64: using a serial console on the first serial port.
1.49 miod 65:
66: <p>
67: Recent development features the replacement of the old hp300-specific SCSI code
68: base with the generic SCSI subsystem (as of 3.6), dynamic attachment and
1.52 miod 69: detachment of HP-HIL devices,
70: <!-- replace end of paragraph with this once 3.7 is released
71: and support for the SGC bus and frame buffers (as of 3.7),
72: as well as the Apollo Domain keyboard and mouse
73: (in -CURRENT only).
74: -->
75: support for the SGC bus and frame buffers, as well as the Apollo Domain keyboard
76: and mouse
77: (in -CURRENT only).

84: Currently, all the hardware listed in the

1.32 miod 86: multi-user, and supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally
1.45 pedro 87: usable, unless specified otherwise.
1.32 miod 88:
89: <p>
90: OpenBSD/hp300 is able to run sun3 SunOS binaries via the
91: <strong>COMPAT_SUNOS</strong> kernel option (a few have been tested and work).
92: <strong>COMPAT_HPUX</strong> is also available for HP-UX binaries, but has
1.49 miod 93: not been tested recently (but this used to be enough to get HP-UX
94: X11 environment to run).
