The mac68k port of OpenBSD was derived from NetBSD/mac68k, and it

used to support most of the same hardware as NetBSD.

Although this port is still being supported, there has been no effort

Development is ongoing, and updates from NetBSD are made from time to time,

<h4>Partially supported systems</h4>

<h4>Untested systems</h4>

The following Macintosh models are untested and/or lack support for major

<p>

subsystems.

These systems lack support for the adb subsystem, but can be used with a

serial console:

<ul>

<li>Quadra 950

<li>Classic family: Color Classic, Classic II

<li>Macintosh II family: Mac II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIsi, IIfx, IIvi, IIvx, Performa 600

<li>LC family: LC, LC II, LC III, LC III+, LC 475, Performa 400-430, Performa 450, Performa 460

<li>500 family: 520, 550, 575, 580, Mac TV

</ul>

<p>

Some systems are reportedly almost supported:

<h4>Unsupported systems</h4>

<ul>

<li>LC/Performa 475/575, Quadra 605 (if 68LC040 replaced with a 68040)

<li>LC/Performa 630 (if 68LC040 replaced with a 68040, and booted from an external SCSI drive)

<li>PowerBook 550c (but the internal SCSI drive is not supported yet)

</ul>

<p>

<h4>Unsupported machines</h4>

<p>

<ul>

<li>PowerPC-based Macs. Some of these are supported in the

<a href="macppc.html">OpenBSD/macppc</a> port.

<li>Machines based on Apple's IOP technology, including the Mac IIfx.

<li>Powerbook family. Hardware capabilities limit the usability of these

systems.

<li>Machines based on the 68LC040 processor.

Unfortunately, the chip itself contains a major bug for which there is

no software workaround available in OpenBSD.
