39: <p>
1.16 ! smurph 40: The Motorola 88k processor is said to be the best RISC processor ever
! 41: devised. It's simplicity and elegance combine to make the mvme88k a
! 42: hearty, robust platform.
! 43: </p>
1.13 smurph 44: <p>
1.16 ! smurph 45: Nivas Madhur started the initial mvme88k port
! 46: for the MVME187 card, but has since moved on to another employer.
! 47: Steve Murphree, Jr. completed the port in November 1998. The port has
! 48: since had major changes including revamped autoconf and on-board SCSI
! 49: driver. New, greatly expanded VME bus support. A working install
! 50: process that correctly creates a Motorola VID block on the disks.

65: </p>
66:
67: <p>
1.16 ! smurph 68: There is a snapshot avaliable as of 2.4. The port supports the MVME187
! 69: Single Board Computer (SBC). MVME188 multi-processor board support is
! 70: currently "in the works." Support for the MVME197 is planned, but we
! 71: need hardware to get things going. (see the <a href="want.html">"Wanted List"</a>.)
1.13 smurph 72: The installation tools and process as of the 2.5 release actually work.
73: OpenBSD/mvme88k can be installed or upgraded via tape ramdisk images
74: as well as network and diskless installs.
