1.1 deraadt 19:
1.325 deraadt 20: The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
21: There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
22: to first of all realize these reasons:
23: <ul>
24: <li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
1.831 miod 25: <li>To be part of their development environment.
1.653 kevlo 26: <li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
1.741 sobrado 27: (i.e. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
1.325 deraadt 28: write code more carefully.
1.831 miod 29: <li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people.
1.653 kevlo 30: </ul>
1.1 deraadt 31: <p>
32:
1.78 deraadt 33: If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
1.653 kevlo 34: search on <a href="http://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices. If
1.78 deraadt 35: you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
1.325 deraadt 36: helps us. It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
1.653 kevlo 37: since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.<p>
1.258 david 38:
1.325 deraadt 39: If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
40: so directly. Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
1.653 kevlo 41: who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.<p>
1.22 deraadt 42:
1.325 deraadt 43: Please be very clear as to where you are located!! For larger items this
44: can be very important.

1.228 jufi 49: <ul>
1.325 deraadt 50: <li>miod@openbsd.org and martin@openbsd.org for "older hardware" in Europe.

1.653 kevlo 57: <h3><font color="#e00000">General device requirements.</font></h3>
1.325 deraadt 58: We try to spread these types of devices around our development community.
1.313 jsg 59: <ul>
1.494 deraadt 60: <li><em>Narrow SCSI</em> disk drives of 2GB or more, 3.5" size.
61: (Narrow SCSI means 50pin).<br>
62: Many developers are running out of these drives, which are needed
63: to continue supporting older hardware.<br>
1.653 kevlo 64: <li>Laptops. These die often enough that our developers need about 2-3
1.325 deraadt 65: replacements a year.
1.653 kevlo 66: <li>Apple Mac powerpc equipment.
1.670 deraadt 67: <li>HP J6750 machines (J6700 is the second best choice).
1.912 deraadt 68: <li>Faster & smaller sparc64 machines, for instance 1U rack mount
69: machines. It is important to spread sparc64 around the development
1.913 sthen 70: community, since it is the most strict platform for detecting non-portable
1.912 deraadt 71: or buggy code.
1.653 kevlo 72: <li>Any amd64 or faster i386 hardware which comes available.
73: <li>We generally do not need older and "very common" ISA/PCI equipment, since
1.325 deraadt 74: our developers will generally have gotten their hands on these in the
75: past.
