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

1.20 jufi 69: There is a snapshot available as of 2.4. The port supports the MVME187
1.19 smurph 70: Single Board Computer (SBC) as well as the MVME188 multi-processor board.
71: (only uses 1 processor currently) Support for the MVME197 is planned,
72: but time is needed to get things going. The installation tools and process
73: as of the 2.5 release actually work. OpenBSD/mvme88k can be installed or
1.18 smurph 74: upgraded via tape ramdisk images as well as network and diskless installs.
