1.42 miod 23: OpenBSD/mac68k runs on many of the Motorola 680x0-based Apple Macintosh
24: cowputers.
25: It requires a Motorola 68020, 68030, or a 68040 processor. If you have a
1.11 briggs 26: 68020, it will also need a Motorola 68851 PMMU (note that this is
1.42 miod 27: different from the 68881, which is an FPU).

112: OpenBSD/mac68k now runs on a large part of the 680x0-based Macintosh
113: computers.
114: The kernel itself has support for the following processor combinations:
1.15 johns 115: <ul>
1.42 miod 116: <li>68020 with 68851 PMMU and 68881 FPU

1.42 miod 123: The following Macintosh models are ``fully'' supported.
124: This means that at least the SCSI controller, ADB (keyboard and mouse), and
125: some sort of display will function on these models.
126: On some of these machines, a PMMU and/or FPU are required as they are not
127: provided by default with the machine.
