OpenBSD/landisk runs on machines related to the
<a href="http://www.iodata.jp/prod/storage/hdd/2004/usl-5p/index.htm">
IO-DATA USL-5P</a>, using a
<a href="http://www.renesas.com">Hitachi/Renesas</a>
SH-4 CPU.<br>
This rather small unit (25cm x 10cm x 2cm) is sold only in Japan.
This platform comes in a variety of models:

<ul>
<li>IO-DATA USL-5P (Japan; as shown)
<li>IO-DATA HDL-U series (Japan)
<li>IO-DATA UHDL-160U and UHDL-300U (May be found in USA)
<li>Plextor PX-EH16L, PX-EH25L and PX-EH40L (May be found in Europe)
</ul>

Note: The "Giga-landisk" machines are ARM-based (both Intel XScale & Marvell)
and supported by the <a href="armish.html">armish</a> architecture.

<p>
The current port maintainers are Miod Vallat
(<a href="mailto:miod@openbsd.org">miod@openbsd.org</a>) and
Michael Shalayeff
(<a href="mailto:mickey@openbsd.org">mickey@openbsd.org</a>).

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
OpenBSD/landisk is the 1st OpenBSD port to a
<a href="http://www.renesas.com">Hitachi/Renesas</a> SH-4 based machine.
It is hoped that other SH-4 based machines will show up which are
interesting enough for our user and development community, but the SH-4
processor is normally used only in true embedded products.
