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

1.16 smurph 70: There is a snapshot avaliable as of 2.4. The port supports the MVME187
1.19 ! smurph 71: Single Board Computer (SBC) as well as the MVME188 multi-processor board.
! 72: (only uses 1 processor currently) Support for the MVME197 is planned,
! 73: but time is needed to get things going. The installation tools and process
! 74: as of the 2.5 release actually work. OpenBSD/mvme88k can be installed or
1.18 smurph 75: upgraded via tape ramdisk images as well as network and diskless installs.
