1.22 graichen 29: <P>The pmax port of OpenBSD was started by Thomas Graichen (<A
1.24 todd 30: HREF="mailto:graichen@openbsd.org">graichen@OpenBSD.org</A>) shortly
1.25 millert 31: before the OpenBSD 2.0 release. It is currently without a maintainer.
32: If you would like to maintain the port, hardware is available so please
33: send <A HREF="mailto:millert@openbsd.org">mail</A>.
1.22 graichen 34: From the pmax specific code it is heavily based on NetBSD/pmax.
35: I want to take the chance
36: here to say thanks to Dieter Mayer and Rob Urban for supplying me (Thomas) with
1.15 graichen 37: the hardware to do the development on. Also i want to thank all the people
1.32 ! ian 38: from the NetBSD/pmax team and mailing lists especially Jonathan Stone
1.18 graichen 39: and Michael Hitch for their help in many situations.
1.15 graichen 40: If you are interested in getting OpenBSD/pmax you can either use the latest
41: formal release of OpenBSD or one of the snapshots of OpenBSD/pmax if you
42: are interested in tracking the current state - you may get them both from
43: <A HREF="ftp.html">the usual OpenBSD ftp servers</A>.</P>
44:
45: <P>Despite of the fact that the hardware specific code in OpenBSD/pmax
1.32 ! ian 46: doesn't differ much from NetBSD/pmax,
! 47: you get all the usual OpenBSD improvements, additions and fixes - most
! 48: important here are the security related stuff and fixes.
