OpenBSD/amiga
History and Status:
The Amiga port is basically the same as the NetBSD/amiga port
but with some additions. The major changes are:
- New interrupt remapping system.
- Support for using ISA peripherals via a bridgecard.
- Supports GGBus+ (aka GoldenGate II) and CrossLink bridgecards
(Neither of these support ISA DMA thus no PC floppy support)
- Tested ISA devices are
- com (Standard PC serial ports)
- lpt (Standard PC parallel ports)
- ast (AST 4-port serial card)
- wd (IDE harddisk)
- acd (IDE ATAPI CD, both data & audio support)
- if_ed, although named if_isaed due to name clash
(dp8390 based ethernet cards, like 3c503, NE2000 & SMC Ultra).
Others should port easily as long as DMA isn't necessary.
- SunOS emulation can use shared libraries on the '040
Projects (in no particular order):
- Ramdisk device.
- Make it possible to use the ADOS fs on vnds (virtual block devices)
- Optimize the remapping interrupt system.
- HP-UX emulation.
- NCR SVR3 Unix emulation.
- AMIX emulation.
- Writable ADOSFS.
- Test aic (Adaptec 1522) and boca (Boca's multiport serial cards).
Snapshots are made available from time to time.
