hardware revision 1.7
1NetBSD/amiga 1.2 runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with
2some form of FPU and MMU, and on DraCos which still have a CIA.

4The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 65M of disk
5space.  To install the entire system requires much more disk space,
6and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.  (4M of
7RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy. X
8really isn't usable on a 4M system.)
9
10Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
11	partition:	advise,	with X,	needed,	with X
12	root (/)	15M	15M	10M	10M
13	user (/usr)	65M	100M	45M 	80M
14	swap		----- 2M for every M ram -----
15	local (/local)	up to you
16
17
18As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
19needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as
20you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large
21and bulky to accommodate all people).
22
23If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
24larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.

33		    and DraCo builtin.
34		FAS216 based SCSI boards: FastLane Z3, Blizzard I and II**)
35	Video controllers:
36		ECS, AGA and A2024 built in on various Amigas.
37		Retina Z2, Retina Z3 and Altais.

45		Hydra Ethernet
46		ASDG Ethernet
47		A4066 Ethernet
48		Ariadne Ethernet
49		Quicknet Ethernet
50	ARCnet controllers:
51		A2060 ARCnet
52	Tape drives:
53		Most SCSI tape drives, including
54			Archive Viper, Cipher SCSI-2 ST150.
55	Scanners:
56		SCSI-2 scanners behaving as SCSI-2 scanner devices,
57		HP Scanjet II, Mustek SCSI scanner.***)
58	CD-ROM drives:
59		Most SCSI CD-ROM drives
60	Serial cards:
61		MultiFaceCard II and III
62		A2232
63	Amiga floppy drives.
64	Amiga parallel port.
65	Amiga serial port.
66	Amiga mouse.
67
68If its not on the above lists, there is no support for it in this
69release. Especially (but this is an incomplete list), there is no
70driver for:
71
72	Cyberstorm SCSI option, Blizzard IV SCSI, Blizzard 2060 SCSI,
73	Ferret SCSI, Oktagon SCSI.
74
75Known problems with some hardware:
76
77	*) the Emplant SCSI adapter has been reported by a party to
78	hang after doing part of the installation without problems.
79
80	**) Fastlane SCSI is reported to show data errors and hangs at
81	least when used with multiple devices on the bus. This might
82	be a problem with any FAS board.
83
84	***) SCSI scanner support is machine independent, so it should
85	work, but hasn't been tested yet on most Amiga configurations.
86	There are reports that it Mustek and HP Scanjet hang if
87	accessed from the A3000. This might apply to other
88	33C93-Adapters, too.
