1.16 smurph 40: The Motorola 88k processor is said to be the best RISC processor ever
1.17 deraadt 41: devised. Its simplicity and elegance combine to make the mvme88k a
1.16 smurph 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.

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
1.18 ! smurph 70: currently "in the works." Support for the MVME197 is planned, but time
! 71: is needed to get things going. The installation tools and process as
! 72: of the 2.5 release actually work. OpenBSD/mvme88k can be installed or
! 73: upgraded via tape ramdisk images as well as network and diskless installs.
