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.

1.20 jufi 68: There is a snapshot available as of 2.4. The port supports the MVME187
1.19 smurph 69: Single Board Computer (SBC) as well as the MVME188 multi-processor board.
70: (only uses 1 processor currently) Support for the MVME197 is planned,
71: but time is needed to get things going. The installation tools and process
72: as of the 2.5 release actually work. OpenBSD/mvme88k can be installed or
1.18 smurph 73: upgraded via tape ramdisk images as well as network and diskless installs.
