   The current port maintainer is Jason Wright

   The porting to OpenBSD started in August 2001 and in the end of September the
   first binary snapshot was released. The porting was done mainly by Jason
   Wright and Artur Grabowski and was done on both sbus and PCI machines so that
   a decently wide hardware support was ready even before the system could boot
   multiuser.

   <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status:</strong></font></h3>
   
   <p>
   Currently most of the hardware available to the developers boots multiuser and
   supports enough of the on-board devices to be generally useable. No attempts
   have been made for graphics console support yet so only serial or prom consoles
   are available. The same applies to support of more expansion hardware for
   the PCI bus or the SBUS.
