! 37: Nivas Madhur started the initial mvme88k port for the MVME187 card, but has
! 38: since moved on to another employer. Steve Murphree, Jr. has since had major
! 39: changes including revamped autoconf and on-board SCSI driver. New, greatly
! 40: expanded VME bus support. A working install process that correctly creates
! 41: a Motorola VID block on the disks
! 42:
! 43: <p>
! 44: There is a snapshot avaliable as of 2.4. The port supports the MVME187
! 45: Single Board Computer (SBC). MVME188 multi-processor board support is
! 46: currently "in the works." Support for the MVME197 is planned, but we
! 47: need hardware to get things going. (see the <a href="want.html">"Wanted List"</a>.)
