hardware revision 1.1
1 1.1 briggs NetBSD/mac68k 1.0 runs on several of the older Macintosh computers. 2 1.1 briggs 4MB of RAM should be sufficient to boot and the system can probably 3 1.1 briggs be squeezed onto a 40MB hard disk by leaving off a package or two. 4 1.1 briggs To actually do much compiling or anything more interesting than 5 1.1 briggs booting, at least 8MB of RAM and more disk space is recommended. 6 1.1 briggs About 50MB will be necessary to install all of the NetBSD 1.0 binary 7 1.1 briggs distribution (note that this does not count swap space!). Much more 8 1.1 briggs disk space is required to install the source and objects as well (about 9 1.1 briggs another 105MB). 10 1.1 briggs 11 1.1 briggs Supported models: 12 1.1 briggs Mac II 13 1.1 briggs Mac IIx 14 1.1 briggs Mac IIcx 15 1.1 briggs Mac IIci 16 1.1 briggs Mac SE/30 17 1.1 briggs 18 1.1 briggs Supported devices on all of the above systems include: 19 1.1 briggs Internal SCSI bus and most SCSI tapes, hard drives, and CD-ROMs 20 1.1 briggs Internal sound--enough to beep, anyway 21 1.1 briggs Most basic NuBUS video cards (there have been some 22 1.1 briggs problems with some 24-bit color cards) 23 1.1 briggs Both internal serial ports 24 1.1 briggs ADB keyboards and mice 25 1.1 briggs 26 1.1 briggs Some systems will boot and are usable from an external terminal 27 1.1 briggs (serial tty or SL/IP): 28 1.1 briggs Mac IIsi 29 1.1 briggs Mac IIvx 30 1.1 briggs possibly others 31 1.1 briggs 32 1.1 briggs What isn't supported, but often asked about: 33 1.1 briggs Ethernet cards. There is a driver that is very close to working 34 1.1 briggs for a number of cards. Contributions are very welcome. 35 1.1 briggs 68040-based Macs. Work is in progress on getting a Quadra 700 36 1.1 briggs running. This requires a new scsi driver and a new 37 1.1 briggs ethernet driver. 38
