History and Status:

! !

The original BSD4.4 port was done by Chris Torek as a contract to LBL. The code was released by Chris in mid-93, and Theo de Raadt worked it into shape for the NetBSD tree. Theo and Markus Wild worked *************** *** 17,22 **** --- 31,37 ---- code. Just after the NetBSD/sparc 1.0 release, Peter Galbavy wrote an ESP scsi device driver as a replacement for Chris' sparc-specific scsi code, this new driver unfortunately had some problems. +

At this point a conflict emerged between Theo and the other people he *************** *** 25,30 **** --- 40,46 ---- NetBSD group did some other things for the port: Paul Kranenburg ported a floppy driver and started writing support for the 4/400. Chuck spent many long hours working on the ie, xy, xd device drivers. +

Theo continued working independently, and made a number of additions: *************** *** 32,37 **** --- 48,54 ---- from John Stone, and masses of bug fixes. Many people will be most interested that the ESP scsi driver has been completely replaced by Theo, and that it supports disconnect/reconnect. +

Work on porting OpenBSD/sparc to the sun4m platform is currently in *************** *** 39,58 **** group and a research group at a US university. This research group wishes to remain anonymous at this time. This work should be available for integration within the next few months.

OpenBSD/sparc can be correctly described as NetBSD/sparc + improvements.

The people working the most on OpenBSD/sparc currently consists of ! Chuck Cranor, Theo de Raadt, and David Miller. Of course others are very welcome! !

!

! Where to get it?

! The third binary snapshot (Nov 22) is now available.

You should also read the general description about OpenBSD snapshots. +

!

What hardware is supported?

!

OpenBSD/sparc runs on the following classes of machines:

! !

Supported devices. This list of basically declares that any `stock' sun4c ! "sparcstation" machine will probably work; for sun4 machines one must be more ! careful.

!

OpenBSD/sparc does *not* run on these machines (yet):

!

Unsupported Devices. First of all, there are MANY unsupported devices. A comprehensive list can probably not be written.
