1.64 mickey 46: <p>
1.67 deraadt 47: This project was started in those days when the only
1.38 mickey 48: open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
1.275 fcambus 49: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/lites/html">Lites</a> and
1.68 jufi 50: <a href="http://www.mklinux.org">MkLinux</a>.
1.38 mickey 51: These two sources were a major supply of information and
52: code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
1.67 deraadt 53: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mike/hpbsd/hpbsd.html">HPBSD</a>
1.38 mickey 54: is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
55: not publicly available.
56: One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
1.74 miod 57: (besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
58: binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
59: for development.
60:
1.38 mickey 61: <p>
1.74 miod 62: Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a
63: <a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/">Linux</a> port to the PA-RISC
64: family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation
65: being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000
66: machines back then.

1.142 mickey 71: Currently, all the supported systems boot multi-user.
72: In addition to the release, full snapshots are made periodically,
73: and work is ongoing to provide better hardware support.

150: <p>
1.96 mickey 151: The following systems are very unlikely to be supported since they either have

1.148 mickey 159: Even though some 64-bit systems are supported by this port in 32-bit mode,

172: are unlikely to be ever supported.
1.99 mickey 173:
174: <p>
1.231 miod 175: All other HP 9000 6xx, 8xx and 9xx server systems will probably never
