! 23: OpenBSD/socppc runs on machines based on the
! 24: <a href="http://www.freescale.com">Freescale</a> MPC8349E
! 25: System-on-Chip (SoC) platform that use Das U-Boot as a boot loader.
! 26: So far this platform only supports the
! 27: <a href="http://www.thecus.com">Thecus</a> N1200, which is a one-disk
! 28: NAS box based on an MPC8347 running at 266MHz. It has 128MB of
! 29: memory, one 1000baseT Ethernet port, an integrated 100basTX Ethernet
! 30: switch, two USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA port as well as room for one
! 31: SATA disk.
! 32:
! 33: <p>
! 34: OpenBSD/socppc is binary compatible with OpenBSD/macppc; all existing
! 35: OpenBSD/powerpc packages will run fine on OpenBSD/socppc.
! 36:
! 37: <p>
! 38: The current port maintainer is Mark Kettenis
! 39: (<a href="mailto:kettenis@openbsd.org">kettenis@openbsd.org</a>).
! 40: Others are definitely welcome to contribute!

! 60: <p>
! 61: OpenBSD/socppc is heavily based on OpenBSD/macppc. The e300 core
! 62: found on the MPC8349E is a derivative of the MPC603e processor used in
! 63: early PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh systems, so most if the low-level
! 64: code is identical.

! 67: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status</strong></font></h3>
! 68:
! 69: <p>
! 70: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable. USB 1 devices
! 71: are only supported behind a USB 2.0 hub, and support for the
! 72: integrated switch on the Thecus N1200 is still missing.
