Hardware wanted
The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
***************
*** 23,256 ****
to first of all realize these reasons:
To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
!
To be part of their development environment
!
Some types of machines may be different in some way
(ie. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
write code more carefully.
!
That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people
!
If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
! search on eBay for the devices. If
you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
helps us. It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
! since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.
If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
so directly. Otherwise contact Theo de Raadt
! who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.
Please be very clear as to where you are located!! For larger items this
can be very important.
!
Specific developers to contact for various reasons
miod@openbsd.org and martin@openbsd.org for "older hardware" in Europe.
!
wvdputte@openbsd.org for shipping assistance inside Europe.
!
deraadt@openbsd.org for any general offers or questions.
!
jsg@openbsd.org for any new wireless equipment.
!
If you do not get a response from these developers, please consider
contacting another developer.
!
General device requirements.
We try to spread these types of devices around our development community.
Narrow SCSI disk drives of 2GB or more, 3.5" size.
(Narrow SCSI means 50pin).
Many developers are running out of these drives, which are needed
to continue supporting older hardware.
!
A few 1U 1Gbit switches with many ports.
!
Laptops. These die often enough that our developers need about 2-3
replacements a year.
!
Apple Mac powerpc equipment.
!
Faster & smaller sparc64 machines, for instance 1U rack mount machines
!
Any amd64 or faster i386 hardware which comes available.
!
We generally do not need older and "very common" ISA/PCI equipment, since
our developers will generally have gotten their hands on these in the
past.
!
!
10Gb Ethernet Support
David Gwynne (in Australia), Reyk Floeter (in Germany), and Claudio Jeker (in
Switzerland) are working on support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet devices. These
