hardware revision 1.2
      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 MC68EC030, you need to replace it with
      4 MC68030 (Simply remove the old chip and put the new one instead.
      5 instead.  The largest difficulty might be to open your X68030).
      6 
      7 In addition, some accelerators are supported:
      8 
      9    Xellent30 series
     10    040turbo
     11    Jupiter-X (040 / 060)
     12 
     13 This means all models of X680x0 series PC except for CZ-600C
     14 and CZ-674C, by using the appropriate accelerator, can run NetBSD!!
     15 Note that the processor of Xellent30 series is MC68EC030, so
     16 you need to replace your processor as well as for X68030.
     17 
     18 The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 65M of
     19 disk space.  To install the entire system requires much more disk space,
     20 and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.
     21 
     22 Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
     23 	partition:	advise,	with X,	needed,	with X
     24 	root (/)	15M	15M	10M	10M
     25 	user (/usr)	65M	100M	45M 	80M
     26 	swap		----- 2M for every M ram -----
     27 	local (/local)	up to you
     28 
     29 As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
     30 needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree
     31 as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (ALL is
     32 large and bulky to accommodate all people).
     33 
     34 Supported devices include:
     35     - Sharp genuine SCSI interface (builtin / optional)
     36 	* SCSI harddisks, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, scanners,...
     37     - The builtin floppy drives
     38     - The builtin frame buffer (both of the text and graphics screen)
     39     - The builtin serial (RS-232C)
     40     - The builtin parallel (Centronics printer interface)
     41     - The standard keyboard
     42     - The mouse / trackball
     43     - NS16550 serial
     44     - Neptune-X ethernet
     45 
     46 Hopefully, the AD-PCM sound device and the Mankai SCSI interface
     47 (Mach-2) will be supported on the next release.
