1.1 deraadt 20:
1.325 deraadt 21: The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
22: There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
23: to first of all realize these reasons:
24: <ul>
25: <li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
1.831 miod 26: <li>To be part of their development environment.
1.653 kevlo 27: <li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
1.741 sobrado 28: (i.e. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
1.325 deraadt 29: write code more carefully.
1.831 miod 30: <li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people.
1.653 kevlo 31: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 32: <p>
33:
1.78 deraadt 34: If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
1.653 kevlo 35: search on <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices. If
1.78 deraadt 36: you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
1.325 deraadt 37: helps us. It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
1.653 kevlo 38: since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.<p>
1.258 david 39:
1.325 deraadt 40: If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
41: so directly. Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
1.653 kevlo 42: who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.<p>
1.22 deraadt 43:
1.325 deraadt 44: Please be very clear as to where you are located!! For larger items this
45: can be very important.

1.228 jufi 50: <ul>
1.325 deraadt 51: <li>miod@openbsd.org and martin@openbsd.org for "older hardware" in Europe.
1.653 kevlo 52: <li>deraadt@openbsd.org for any general offers or questions.

1.653 kevlo 58: <h3><font color="#e00000">General device requirements.</font></h3>
1.325 deraadt 59: We try to spread these types of devices around our development community.
1.313 jsg 60: <ul>
1.494 deraadt 61: <li><em>Narrow SCSI</em> disk drives of 2GB or more, 3.5" size.
62: (Narrow SCSI means 50pin).<br>
63: Many developers are running out of these drives, which are needed
64: to continue supporting older hardware.<br>
1.653 kevlo 65: <li>Laptops. These die often enough that our developers need about 2-3
1.325 deraadt 66: replacements a year.
1.653 kevlo 67: <li>Apple Mac powerpc equipment.
1.670 deraadt 68: <li>HP J6750 machines (J6700 is the second best choice).
1.912 deraadt 69: <li>Faster & smaller sparc64 machines, for instance 1U rack mount
70: machines. It is important to spread sparc64 around the development
1.913 ! sthen 71: community, since it is the most strict platform for detecting non-portable
1.912 deraadt 72: or buggy code.
1.653 kevlo 73: <li>Any amd64 or faster i386 hardware which comes available.
74: <li>We generally do not need older and "very common" ISA/PCI equipment, since
1.325 deraadt 75: our developers will generally have gotten their hands on these in the
76: past.
