! 59:
! 60: <p>
! 61: The Palm port started as a fork of the Zaurus port in March 2009 with the
! 62: intention to make the system run on Palm Tungsten|T5. The project was later
! 63: approved as a semestral work at the <a href="http://www.ksi.mff.cuni.cz/en/">
! 64: Department of Software Engineering</a>, <a
! 65: href="http://www.mff.cuni.cz/toISO-8859-2.en/">Faculty
! 66: of Mathematics and Physics</a>, <a href="http://www.cuni.cz/UKENG-1.html">
! 67: Charles University in Prague</a> mentored by <a
! 68: href="http://www.egothor.org/~galambos/">Leo Galambos</a>.</p>
! 69: <p>
! 70: As the project advanced, support for more Palm devices was added as well as
! 71: support for various peripherals and the project outgrew the initial agreement
! 72: for the semestral project.</p>

! 74: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status</strong></font></h3>
! 75:
! 76: <p>
! 77: OpenBSD/palm has been tested and is known to be working on the following
! 78: models, Tungsten|T5, T|X, LifeDrive and the Zire72. There is also an initial
! 79: support for Palm Tungsten|C.</p>
! 80: <p>
! 81: Currently supported is the LCD, buttons, USB host (through a hub with external
! 82: power supply), PXA SD/MMC controller and UART (not available on Zire72). On Palm
! 83: LifeDrive also exists a driver for the builtin harddrive.</p>
! 84: <p>Additional patches that were not yet merged into the mainline tree are
! 85: available <a href="http://marex.hackndev.com/OpenBSD/">here</a>.</p>
