1.22 gene 20: OpenBSD/mac68k runs on many of the Motorola 680x0-based Macintosh machines. It
1.11 briggs 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
1.28 downsj 33: supports most of the same hardware as NetBSD. This does not mean
1.11 briggs 34: that OpenBSD is the same as NetBSD. Far from it. The kernel makes
35: up only a small part of the full system.

1.19 gene 40: OpenBSD/mac68k now runs on most 680x0 Macintoshes. Specifically, it
1.15 johns 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>
47: </p>
48:
49: <p>
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.
55: <ul>
56: <li> Mac II, Mac IIx, Mac IIcx, Mac IIci, Mac SE/30,
57: <li> Mac IIsi, Mac IIvx, Mac IIvi, Performa 600, Centris 650,
58: <li> Color Classic, Classic II, LC520, LC550, Mac LCIII, Performa 4xx,
59: <li> LCII, LCIII, MacTV, Quadra 610, Quadra 650, Quadra 840, Quadra
60: <li> 840AV, Quadra 800, Quadra 700, Duo Series,
61: <li> Powerbook 180 and 180c, PB140, PB145, PB145B, PB160, PB170, PB165,
62: <li> PB165c
63: </ul>
64: </p>
65:
66: <p>Supported devices on all of the above systems include:
67: <ul>
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
73: <li> Ethernet cards based on the Natl. Semiconductor 8390 (Asante, Apple, and a few others)
74: <li> Some ethernet cards based on the SONIC chip including internal Ethernet on many of Apple's Quadras.
75: </ul>
76:
77: <p>
78: Some systems will boot and are usable from an external terminal (serial tty or SL/IP):
79: <ul>
80: <li> LC475, Performa 475, Quadra 605
81: <li> possibly others

86: What isn't supported, but often asked about:
87: <ul>
1.29 ! chris 88: <li> PowerPC-based Macs. Some of these are supported in the <A HREF="powerpc.html">OpenBSD/powerpc</a> port.
1.15 johns 89: <li> Machines based on Apple's IOP technology including the Mac IIfx.
1.18 todd 90: <li> Machines based on the 68LC040 processor. Unfortunately, the chip itself contains a major bug which is presently being worked on. However, machines such as the Centris 605 don't work right now.
