23: OpenBSD/luna88k is an effort to port OpenBSD to the
24: <a href="http://www.omron.com">OMRON</a> LUNA-88K and LUNA-88K2 workstations.
25:
26: <p>
27: The current port maintainer is Kenji Aoyama
28: (<a href="mailto:aoyama@openbsd.org">aoyama@openbsd.org</a>), with the help of
1.13 miod 29: Miod Vallat. Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

46: The LUNA workstation family was manufactured by
47: <a href="http://www.omron.com">OMRON corporation</a> in the early 1990s.
48: After several models based upon the Motorola 680x0 family,
49: the last designs were multiprocessor systems based upon the
50: Motorola 88100 processor.
51:
52: <p>
53: Kenji Aoyama wanted to run a modern operating system on his LUNA-88K2 and
54: eventually got tired of waiting for someone else to do this effort, so he
55: started to merge the
56: <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/luna68k/">NetBSD/luna68k</a> device
57: support with the
58: <a href="mvme88k.html">OpenBSD/mvme88k</a> hardware support in January 2002.
1.6 david 59: His efforts were eventually successful and his machine booted multi-user near
1.1 miod 60: the end of 2003.

1.11 miod 67: Both Luna-88k and Luna-88k2 models are supported, and will boot multi-user.
68: Most of the on-board devices are supported, but the system will currently
69: run on one processor only.
