hardware revision 1.2
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 MC68EC030, you need to replace it with 4MC68030 (Simply remove the old chip and put the new one instead. 5instead. The largest difficulty might be to open your X68030). 6 7In addition, some accelerators are supported: 8 9 Xellent30 series 10 040turbo 11 Jupiter-X (040 / 060) 12 13This means all models of X680x0 series PC except for CZ-600C 14and CZ-674C, by using the appropriate accelerator, can run NetBSD!! 15Note that the processor of Xellent30 series is MC68EC030, so 16you need to replace your processor as well as for X68030. 17 18The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 65M of 19disk space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space, 20and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. 21 22Here 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 29As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than 30needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree 31as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (ALL is 32large and bulky to accommodate all people). 33 34Supported 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 46Hopefully, the AD-PCM sound device and the Mankai SCSI interface 47(Mach-2) will be supported on the next release. 48
