hardware revision 1.2.2.2
      1  1.2.2.2  cgd 	$NetBSD: hardware,v 1.2.2.2 1998/12/05 07:33:14 cgd Exp $	
      2  1.2.2.1  cgd 
      3  1.2.2.1  cgd NetBSD/x68k _VER runs on the Sharp X68030 series PCs with TRUE
      4      1.1  oki MC68030 MPU (not MC68EC030) and FPU.  Since the processor of
      5      1.2  oki the X68030 series is MC68EC030, you need to replace it with
      6      1.2  oki MC68030 (Simply remove the old chip and put the new one instead.
      7      1.1  oki instead.  The largest difficulty might be to open your X68030).
      8      1.1  oki 
      9      1.1  oki In addition, some accelerators are supported:
     10      1.1  oki 
     11      1.2  oki    Xellent30 series
     12      1.1  oki    040turbo
     13      1.1  oki    Jupiter-X (040 / 060)
     14  1.2.2.1  cgd    060turbo
     15      1.1  oki 
     16      1.1  oki This means all models of X680x0 series PC except for CZ-600C
     17      1.1  oki and CZ-674C, by using the appropriate accelerator, can run NetBSD!!
     18      1.2  oki Note that the processor of Xellent30 series is MC68EC030, so
     19      1.1  oki you need to replace your processor as well as for X68030.
     20      1.1  oki 
     21  1.2.2.1  cgd The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 80M of
     22      1.1  oki disk space.  To install the entire system requires much more disk space,
     23      1.1  oki and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
     24      1.1  oki 
     25      1.1  oki Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
     26      1.1  oki 	partition:	advise,	with X,	needed,	with X
     27  1.2.2.1  cgd 	root (/)	20M	20M	15M	15M
     28  1.2.2.1  cgd 	user (/usr)	95M	125M	75M 	105M
     29      1.1  oki 	swap		----- 2M for every M ram -----
     30      1.1  oki 	local (/local)	up to you
     31      1.1  oki 
     32      1.1  oki As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
     33      1.1  oki needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree
     34      1.1  oki as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (ALL is
     35      1.1  oki large and bulky to accommodate all people).
     36      1.1  oki 
     37      1.1  oki Supported devices include:
     38      1.1  oki     - Sharp genuine SCSI interface (builtin / optional)
     39      1.1  oki 	* SCSI harddisks, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, scanners,...
     40  1.2.2.1  cgd     - Mankai Seisakusho Mach-2 SCSI interface
     41      1.1  oki     - The builtin floppy drives
     42      1.1  oki     - The builtin frame buffer (both of the text and graphics screen)
     43      1.1  oki     - The builtin serial (RS-232C)
     44      1.1  oki     - The builtin parallel (Centronics printer interface)
     45      1.1  oki     - The standard keyboard
     46      1.1  oki     - The mouse / trackball
     47      1.1  oki     - NS16550 serial
     48      1.1  oki     - Neptune-X ethernet
     49      1.1  oki 
     50  1.2.2.1  cgd Hopefully, the AD-PCM sound device will be supported on the next
     51  1.2.2.1  cgd release.
     52  1.2.2.2  cgd 
     53  1.2.2.2  cgd IMPORTANT NOTE: Xellent users *MUST* change the address map setting
     54  1.2.2.2  cgd for it from the default ($ECC000 - $ECFFFF) before installation.  This
     55  1.2.2.2  cgd is because the default address conflicts with the Neptune-X ethernet
     56  1.2.2.2  cgd interface, and the Neptune driver is confused by it.  All the settings
     57  1.2.2.2  cgd other than the default are ok.  Once you installed NetBSD, and configured
     58  1.2.2.2  cgd your own kernel, you can restore the setting.
