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

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