                     20: OpenBSD/mac68k runs on many of the m68k-based Macintosh machines.  It
                     21: requires a Motorola 68020, 68030, or a 68040 processor.  If you have a
                     22: 68020, it will also need a Motorola 68851 PMMU (note that this is
                     23: different from the 68881, which is an FPU).  While the system is
                     24: quite useful (it's being run as an internet server and router), there
                     25: is still plenty of work to be done.  Please jump in and become a part
                     26: of the action!

1.11      briggs     32: The mac68k port of OpenBSD was derived from NetBSD/mac68k, and it
                     33: supports the same hardware as NetBSD-current.  This does not mean
                     34: that OpenBSD is the same as NetBSD.  Far from it.  The kernel makes
                     35: up only a small part of the full system.

                     40: OpenBSD/mac68k 2.1 now runs on most 680x0 Macintoshes.  Specifically, it
                     41: should work on:
                     42: <ul>
                     43: <li> 68020 with 68851 PMMU and 68881 FPU
                     44: <li> 68030 with 68882 FPU (most Macs have this)
                     45: <li> 68040 (not including the 68LC040)
                     46: </ul>

                     50: The following Macintosh models are "fully" supported.  This means that at
                     51: least the SCSI controller, ADB (keyboard and mouse), and some sort of
                     52: display will function on these models.  On some of these machines, a PMMU
                     53: and/or FPU are required if they are not provided by default with the
                     54: machine.

                     68: <li> Internal SCSI bus and most SCSI tapes, hard drives, and CD-ROMs
                     69: <li> Internal sound--enough to beep on some machines, anyway
                     70: <li> Most NuBus video cards (there have been some problems with some 24-bit color cards)
                     71: <li> Both internal serial ports
                     72: <li> ADB keyboards and mice

                     74: <li> Some ethernet cards based on the SONIC chip including internal Ethernet on many of Apple's Quadras.

                     87: <ul>
                     88: <li> PowerPC-based Macs.  Work will begin on this, sometime soon.  It will be separate from this port, though.  The PowerPC is a much different processor.
                     89: <li> Machines based on Apple's IOP technology including the Mac IIfx.
                     90: <li> Machines based on the 68LC040 processor.  Unfortunately, the chip itself contains a major bug which is presently being worked on.  However, machiens such as the Centris 605 don't work right now.
