Since the processor of 5the X68030 series is MC68EC030, you need to replace it with 6MC68030 (Simply remove the old chip and put the new one instead. 7instead. The largest difficulty might be to open your X68030). 8 9In addition, some accelerators are supported: 10 11 Xellent30 series 12 040turbo 13 Jupiter-X (040 / 060) 14 15This means all models of X680x0 series PC except for CZ-600C 16and CZ-674C, by using the appropriate accelerator, can run NetBSD!! 17Note that the processor of Xellent30 series is MC68EC030, so 18you need to replace your processor as well as for X68030. 19 20The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 65M of 21disk space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space, 22and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. 23 24Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install: 25 partition: advise, with X, needed, with X 26 root (/) 15M 15M 10M 10M 27 user (/usr) 65M 100M 45M 80M 28 swap ----- 2M for every M ram ----- 29 local (/local) up to you 30 31As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than 32needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree 33as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (ALL is 34large and bulky to accommodate all people). 35 36Supported devices include: 37 - Sharp genuine SCSI interface (builtin / optional) 38 * SCSI harddisks, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, scanners,... 39 - The builtin floppy drives 40 - The builtin frame buffer (both of the text and graphics screen) 41 - The builtin serial (RS-232C) 42 - The builtin parallel (Centronics printer interface) 43 - The standard keyboard 44 - The mouse / trackball 45 - NS16550 serial 46 - Neptune-X ethernet 47 48Hopefully, the AD-PCM sound device and the Mankai SCSI interface 49(Mach-2) will be supported on the next release. 50
