33: The Thecus N1200 is a one-disk NAS box based on an MPC8347 running at
1.7 kettenis 34: 266MHz. It has 128MB of memory, one 1000baseT Ethernet port, an
35: integrated 100baseTX Ethernet switch, two USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA
36: port as well as room for one SATA disk.

1.11 kettenis 39: The RouterBOARD RB600A is based on an MPC8343 running at 266MHz or
1.7 kettenis 40: 400MHz. It has 128MB of memory, three 1000baseT Ethernet ports, two
1.12 jasper 41: CF slots and four mini-PCI slots. Support for the RB600A has been added
42: in OpenBSD 4.7.

45: OpenBSD/socppc is binary compatible with OpenBSD/macppc; all existing

1.1 kettenis 57: <p>
58: OpenBSD/socppc is heavily based on OpenBSD/macppc. The e300 core
59: found on the MPC8349E is a derivative of the MPC603e processor used in
1.2 deraadt 60: early PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh systems, so most of the low-level
1.1 kettenis 61: code is identical.

65: <p>
66: Hardware support is mostly complete and quite stable. USB 1 devices
67: are only supported behind a USB 2.0 hub, and support for the
68: integrated switch on the Thecus N1200 is still missing.
