37: The Sun3 port of OpenBSD was derived from the NetBSD/sun3 port, when the
38: sun3 and sun3x ports were still different entities. Noone showed much
39: interest in OpenBSD/sun3 for a while, although the code was mostly kept in
40: sync with NetBSD.

44: Eventually, Kenneth Stailey started working on the port, but since he was
45: living in the USA, he could not export a release he would have built, so he
46: lost interest working on this port.

1.50 miod 50: Early 2000, Miod Vallat attempted to bring the port back in shape, making
1.45 miod 51: the code compile again, and devising completely new installation media. The
1.48 jmc 52: port even shipped with complete X Window System client and utilities, although
53: there was no working X server.

57: The port lived for a few releases, but unfortunately hardware problems and
58: lack of time conspired to prevent catching up with NetBSD on code, and the
59: sun3 code was not ready for the switch from the old Mach virtual memory
60: system to

63: for the 3.1 release. Unfortunately, this has not been the case, and eventually
64: it was decided to remove the code from the tree.
