! OpenBSD/mac68k used to run on many of the Motorola 680x0-based Apple Macintosh computers. ! It used to require a Motorola 68020 or better processor, with an external ! Motorola 68851 PMMU in case of a 68020.
+ The OpenBSD/mac68k port has been + discontinued after the 5.1 release. +
+ +! There is currently no one working on bringing this port back to life. ! The source code is still available in the CVS Attic, and code can be found in ! NetBSD as well.

The mac68k port of OpenBSD was derived from NetBSD/mac68k, and it used to support most of the same hardware as NetBSD.
Active building and testing of OpenBSD/mac68k was discontinued after OpenBSD 4.6 due to lack of interest with developers and builder. -
! All hardware listed in the ! supported hardware section below should boot ! multi-user, and support enough of the on-board devices to be generally ! usable. -

! Eventually the lack of a proper firmware interface, requiring the use of a ! MacOS application as the bootloader, with little or no possibility of updating ! this application to match progress in OpenBSD (let alone rebuild it with a ! free software toolchain) convinced the developers to give up supporting this ! port, and remove the code from the tree. !
! OpenBSD/mac68k runs on a large part of the 680x0-based Macintosh computers. ! The kernel itself has support for the following processor combinations:

! The following Macintosh models are supported and tested. This means that at least the SCSI controller, serial console and on-board ! ethernet will function on these models. ! On some of these machines, a full 68040 CPU is required to replace the default 68LC040 CPU.
