1.8 downsj 45: OpenBSD follows in the footsteps of 4.4BSD by supporting the hp300; most
1.64 miod 46: types of machine are supported with 68030 or better processors, along with
1.36 miod 47: SCSI and HP-IB storage devices.
1.4 deraadt 48:
49: <p>
1.8 downsj 50: OpenBSD/hp300 runs 8k pagesize executables natively (the first operating
51: system for the hp300 to do so), maintaining the standard binary format
52: used by all other OpenBSD m68k platforms.
53:
1.13 downsj 54: <p>
1.71 sthen 55: Over time, the 4.4BSD codebase was extended and corrected, and the hp300
1.32 miod 56: port switched to the regular config(8) for kernel configuration.
57:
58: <p>
59: Shortly after OpenBSD 2.9 was released, support was added for the 425e model,
60: using a serial console on the first serial port.
1.49 miod 61:
62: <p>
63: Recent development features the replacement of the old hp300-specific SCSI code
64: base with the generic SCSI subsystem (as of 3.6), dynamic attachment and
1.55 david 65: detachment of HP-HIL devices, and support for the SGC bus and frame buffers
1.57 martin 66: (as of 3.7), as well as the Apollo Domain keyboard and mouse (as of 3.8).
