hardware revision 1.1
1NetBSD/x68k 1.2 runs on the Sharp X68030 series PCs with TRUE 2MC68030 MPU (not MC68EC030) and FPU. Since the processor of 3the X68030 series is MC68EC030RC25, you need to replace it 4with MC68030RC25 (Simply remove the old chip and put the new one 5instead. The largest difficulty might be to open your X68030). 6 7In addition, some accelerators are supported: 8 9 Xellent030 10 Xellent030S 11 040turbo 12 Jupiter-X (040 / 060) 13 14This means all models of X680x0 series PC except for CZ-600C 15and CZ-674C, by using the appropriate accelerator, can run NetBSD!! 16Note that the processor of Xellent030 series is MC68EC030, so 17you need to replace your processor as well as for X68030. 18 19The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 65M of 20disk space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space, 21and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. 22 23Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install: 24 partition: advise, with X, needed, with X 25 root (/) 15M 15M 10M 10M 26 user (/usr) 65M 100M 45M 80M 27 swap ----- 2M for every M ram ----- 28 local (/local) up to you 29 30As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than 31needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree 32as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (ALL is 33large and bulky to accommodate all people). 34 35Supported devices include: 36 - Sharp genuine SCSI interface (builtin / optional) 37 * SCSI harddisks, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, scanners,... 38 - The builtin floppy drives 39 - The builtin frame buffer (both of the text and graphics screen) 40 - The builtin serial (RS-232C) 41 - The builtin parallel (Centronics printer interface) 42 - The standard keyboard 43 - The mouse / trackball 44 - NS16550 serial 45 - Neptune-X ethernet 46 47Hopefully, the AD-PCM sound device and the Mankai SCSI interface 48(Mach-2) will be supported on the next release. 49
