<ul>

<li> All mainstream i386 architecture CPU chips, including 386,

486, Pentium, Pentium-Pro and compatibles such

486, Pentium, Pentium-Pro, Pentium II, AMD K5/K6/K6-2, and

as the AMD K5 series and Cyrix cpu family. Everything

the Cyrix processor family (including the MediaGX). Everything

that is a clone of the 386 or up should work fine. The

only cpu that is known to work poorly (due to flawed

motherboard designs) is the Cyrix 386DLC.

<li> Basically all standard ISA, EISA, VLB, PCI, or PCMCIA bus based machines.

<li> All standard ISA, EISA, VLB, PCI, or PCMCIA bus based machines.

<li> Floppy controllers.

<li> MFM, ESDI, IDE, and RLL hard disk controllers.

<li> ISA MFM, ESDI, IDE, and RLL hard disk controllers.

<li> SCSI host adapters:

<li> MDA, CGA, VGA, SVGA, and HGC Display Adapters.

(Note that not all of the display adapters OpenBSD/i386

can work with are supported by X.
