! There used to be an ``OpenBSD/romp'' effort to port OpenBSD to the IBM 6150 and 6151 machines, also known as RT/PC. These machines were IBM's first try into the workstation world, in 1986, and are the ancestors of the RS/6000 machines of today. -
However, nowadays, it makes little sense to port to a machine which can not
support more than 16 megabytes of memory.

Mark Dapoz and Roger Florkowski ported a mix of 4.3BSD and 4.4BSD to the romp in the late 1980's, for educational sites not wanting to run AIX on their ! machines. This port was named ``AOS''.
The code eventually was released to the community in the late 1990's, with --- 1,41 ---- ! ! ! !
