  <h3><strong>History and Status:</strong></h3>
  
  <p>
! OpenBSD/vax is currently working on expansion of the supported hardware,
! graphics console support, and shared libraries.  The architecture specific
! code is largely based on the NetBSD/vax port with the end result being a
! very comfortable and familiar OpenBSD environment.
  </p>
  
  <p>
! Significant changes contained in the post 2.8 snapshot:
  </p>
  <ul>
  <li>Support for 16 filesystems per drive. (work by hugh)
  <li>Emulation of the EMODD instruction. (work by bjc)
  <li>Support for KA53 (Cheetah) machines. (work by bjc & hugh)
  </ul>
  
  <p>
! OpenBSD is currently known to run on these vax models:
  </p>
  
! <ul>
! <li>vaxstation/microvax 2000
! <li>vaxstation 3100/20
! <li>vaxstation 3100/38
! <li>vaxstation 3100/76
! <li>vaxstation 4000/60
! <li>microvax 3300
! <li>vax 4000/100
! <li>vax 4000/300 
! </ul>
  
! <p>
! SCSI should be working on the following:
! </p>
  
! <ul>
! <li>microvax 3300
! <li>vaxstation 4000/60
! <li>vaxstation 4000/vlc?
! <li>most 3100 series vaxstations and microvaxes
! </ul>
  
! <p>
! Projects being worked on:
! </p>
! 
! <ul>
! <li>vaxstation 2000's hdc9224 (floppy/mfm hard disk controller)
! <li>qbus tk50/tk70 tape drives
! <li>shac dssi support
! <li>VAX 4000-10X support <a href="want.html#vax">(docs and hardware sought)</a>
! </ul>
   
! <p>
! Known problems:
! </p>
  
! <ul>
! <li>optimizer bugs in gcc
! <li>intermittent lance ethernet timeouts
! <li>some signal delivery problems
! </ul>
  
  <p>
  The current release OpenBSD/vax is 2.8; however, snapshots will be made from time to time.

  <h3><strong>History and Status:</strong></h3>
  
  <p>
! OpenBSD/vax began in early 2000 when architecture specific code was adapted
! from NetBSD's very mature port to these systems. Smaller imports still occur
! as useful changes happen in that OS. However, we are by no means wholly
! derivative; most of the changes below have in fact been backported to NetBSD.
! The result of all this work is an OS environment that is comfortable and
! familiar to any OpenBSD user.

  <li>Support for 16 filesystems per drive. (work by hugh)
  <li>Emulation of the EMODD instruction. (work by bjc)
  <li>Support for KA53 (Cheetah) machines. (work by bjc & hugh)
+ <li>Interrupt signals no longer cause ksh subshells to core. (work by bjc)
  </ul>
  
  <p>
! OpenBSD runs on a wide variety of VAX hardware, but our inventory
! of systems is limited. We rely on your feedback to know what is supported,
! and what needs work. In fact, after you finish installing and road testing
! your new system, simply running "dmesg |mail dmesg@openbsd.org" helps us to
! confirm what types of hardware people are using. The machines listed on this
! page are known to be working as of the most recent snapshot.
