hardware revision 1.4.2.3
1 1.4 ender NetBSD/mac68k _VER runs on several of the older Macintosh computers. 2 1.4.2.2 mellon About 4MB of RAM should be sufficient to boot and the system can probably 3 1.4.2.2 mellon be squeezed onto a 40MB hard disk by leaving off an unnecessary set or two. 4 1.4.2.2 mellon To actually do much compiling or anything more interesting than booting, at 5 1.4.2.2 mellon least 8MB of RAM and more disk space is recommended. About 75MB will be 6 1.4.2.2 mellon necessary to install all of the NetBSD _VER binary system distribution 7 1.4.2.2 mellon sets (note that this does not count swap space!). An addition 25MB or so 8 1.4.2.2 mellon is needed for the binary X11 distribution sets. Much more disk space is 9 1.4.2.3 mellon required to install the source and objects as well (at least another 300MB). 10 1.4.2.3 mellon 11 1.1 briggs 12 1.1 briggs Supported models: 13 1.4.2.3 mellon 14 1.4 ender Mac II, IIx, IIcx, SE/30, IIci, IIsi, IIvx, IIvi, 15 1.4 ender Performa 400/405/410/430, Performa 450, Performa 460/466/467, 16 1.4 ender Performa 520, Performa 550/560, Performa 600, 17 1.4 ender LC II, LC III, LC III+, LC 520, LC 550, 18 1.4 ender MacTV, 19 1.4 ender Centris 650, 20 1.4 ender Quadra 610, Quadra 630, Quadra 650, Quadra 700, Quadra 800, 21 1.4.2.1 mellon Quadra/Centris 660AV, Quadra 840AV 22 1.4.2.3 mellon 23 1.1 briggs 24 1.1 briggs Supported devices on all of the above systems include: 25 1.4.2.3 mellon 26 1.4 ender Onboard SCSI bus and most SCSI tapes, hard drives, and CD-ROMs 27 1.2 jtc Internal sound--enough to beep on some machines, anyway 28 1.4.2.1 mellon Most basic NuBus video cards (there have been some 29 1.4.2.1 mellon problems with some 24-bit color cards and with most 30 1.4.2.1 mellon QuickDraw acclerators) 31 1.1 briggs Both internal serial ports 32 1.4 ender ADB keyboards and mice (both Apple and a number of third party 33 1.4.2.1 mellon multi-button mice and trackballs are supported) 34 1.4 ender Ethernet cards based on the Natl. Semiconductor 8390 and the 35 1.4 ender SONIC (DP83932) chips 36 1.3 briggs (Asante, Apple, and a few others--problems still 37 1.4.2.3 mellon with Ethernet and many NuBus video cards). 38 1.4.2.3 mellon Onboard Ethernet based on the SONIC chip for Quadra-series Macs 39 1.4.2.3 mellon Onboard Ethernet based on the MACE chip for the AV Quadras. 40 1.4.2.3 mellon Comm-slot Ethernet may be working for some machines/cards. 41 1.1 briggs 42 1.4.2.3 mellon 43 1.3 briggs If your 68030 system is not listed above, it may be because of a problem 44 1.4.2.2 mellon with accessing onboard video, and it may still work with a serial console. 45 1.3 briggs Some of the known ones in this category: 46 1.4.2.3 mellon 47 1.4 ender Classic-series Macs 48 1.4 ender PowerBook 100-series and Duo-series Macs 49 1.4 ender 50 1.4.2.3 mellon 51 1.4 ender If your 68LC040 system is not listed above, it is due to a problem with 52 1.4 ender floating point emulation (FPE) for this type of processor. Machines in 53 1.4 ender this category include: 54 1.4.2.3 mellon 55 1.4 ender Newer LC-series machines 56 1.4 ender Newer Performa-series machines 57 1.4.2.1 mellon Some PowerBook 500-series Macs 58 1.4.2.3 mellon 59 1.1 briggs 60 1.1 briggs What isn't supported, but often asked about: 61 1.4.2.3 mellon 62 1.4 ender Macintosh IIfx: This machine has unusual custom chips for the 63 1.4 ender ADB and serial interfaces which makes support for it 64 1.4 ender difficult. Work is in progress on this, though. 65 1.4 ender Quadra 900/950: These machines have I/O processor chips for their 66 1.4 ender ADB interfaces similar to those used in the IIfx and thus 67 1.4 ender face similar support problems. 68 1.3 briggs PowerPC-based Macs. This will be separate from this port. 69 1.3 briggs The PowerPC is a much different processor as is much of 70 1.3 briggs the hardware inside these machines. If you are 71 1.3 briggs interested in this, you might want to take a look at 72 1.4 ender http://www.mklinux.apple.com/. In addition, there is 73 1.4 ender also a NetBSD-powerpc port.
