   <p>
   Nivas Madhur started the initial mvme88k port for the MVME187 card, but has
   since moved on to another employer.  Steve Murphree, Jr. has since had major
   changes including revamped autoconf and on-board SCSI driver.  New, greatly
   expanded VME bus support.  A working install process that correctly creates
   a Motorola VID block on the disks
   
   <p>
   There is a snapshot avaliable as of 2.4.  The port supports the MVME187
   Single Board Computer (SBC).  MVME188 multi-processor board support is
   currently "in the works."  Support for the MVME197 is planned, but we
   need hardware to get things going.  (see the <a href="want.html">"Wanted List"</a>.)

   The installation tools and process as of the 2.5 release actually work.
   OpenBSD/mvme88k can be installed or upgraded via tape ramdisk images
   as well as network and diskless installs.
