<h3><font color=#0000e0><strong>History:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
The Motorola 88k processor is said to be the best RISC processor ever
devised. Its simplicity and elegance combine to make the mvme88k a
hearty, robust platform.
</p>
<p>
Nivas Madhur started the initial mvme88k port
for the MVME187 card, but has since moved on to another employer.
Steve Murphree, Jr. completed the port in November 1998. The port has
since had major changes including revamped autoconf and on-board SCSI
driver. New, greatly expanded VME bus support. A working install
process that correctly creates a Motorola VID block on the disks.

<h3><font color=#0000e0><strong>Current Status:</strong></font></h3>
<p>
The people working the most on OpenBSD/mvme88k are:
Steve Murphree, Jr.
More would be nice :)
</p>
<p>
Email may be sent to the maintainer of the OpenBSD/mvme88k port at
<a href="mailto:smurph@OpenBSD.org">smurph@OpenBSD.org</a>.
</p>
<p>
There is a snapshot avaliable as of 2.4. The port supports the MVME187
Single Board Computer (SBC). MVME188 multi-processor board support is
currently "in the works." Support for the MVME197 is planned, but time
is needed to get things going. The installation tools and process as
of the 2.5 release actually work. OpenBSD/mvme88k can be installed or
upgraded via tape ramdisk images as well as network and diskless installs.

<h3><font color=#0000e0>Where can you find hardware?</font></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="mailto:john@wad-s.com">John's Industrial Surplus.</a>.
</ul>
<p>
If you really want to play 88k, this is what I suggest:
</p>
<ul>
<li>MVME188 8000 series dual proc system. It has a really cool chassis.
<li>MVME187 SBC
<li>NCD 88k X-Terminal. It's a cool 88k X display.
</ul>
<p>
John has all of this stuff. Give him a shout and see what he can get for you.

<h3><font color=#0000e0>Project list:</font></h3>
<ul>
<li>Start work on MVME197 port.
<li>Finnish work on MVME188 port.
<li>Start work on device drivers for unsupported VME cards.
</ul>

<h3><font color=#0000e0>mvme88k pictures:</font></h3>
<p>
The picture at the top of this page is a MVME 900 Series Chassis with a MVME187
33 Mhz, 32 Megabyte RAM SBC board, 4 MVME332XT serial baords and an
ARCHIVE 250 MB QIC Tape unit. Its hostname is m187. It is the primary build
machine for the OpenBSD/mvme88k port.

Check out the cool VME bus devices! Err, also check out how many builds
it took to get them working...
