hardware revision 1.1
      1 NetBSD/x68k 1.2 runs on the Sharp X68030 series PCs with TRUE
      2 MC68030 MPU (not MC68EC030) and FPU.  Since the processor of
      3 the X68030 series is MC68EC030RC25, you need to replace it
      4 with MC68030RC25 (Simply remove the old chip and put the new one
      5 instead.  The largest difficulty might be to open your X68030).
      6 
      7 In addition, some accelerators are supported:
      8 
      9    Xellent030
     10    Xellent030S
     11    040turbo
     12    Jupiter-X (040 / 060)
     13 
     14 This means all models of X680x0 series PC except for CZ-600C
     15 and CZ-674C, by using the appropriate accelerator, can run NetBSD!!
     16 Note that the processor of Xellent030 series is MC68EC030, so
     17 you need to replace your processor as well as for X68030.
     18 
     19 The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 65M of
     20 disk space.  To install the entire system requires much more disk space,
     21 and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
     22 
     23 Here 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 
     30 As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
     31 needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree
     32 as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (ALL is
     33 large and bulky to accommodate all people).
     34 
     35 Supported 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 
     47 Hopefully, the AD-PCM sound device and the Mankai SCSI interface
     48 (Mach-2) will be supported on the next release.
