But as long as I do not have AViiON hardware and rely on other people for testing, development will not progress very fast, and will hit on our nerves. So if you have an unused AViiON machine in your Attic you have no real use for, or if you know someone who wants to get rid of his... please get in touch with me. This would definitely help this emerging port a lot!

Preferrably someone living in the USA... Cheers, Dries

Preferrably someone living in the USA... Alas, it's no use - first, the board without the backplane and power supply is useless; second, this one is 88110-based, and there is still a long road until 88110-based systems work. Miod

This has been possible because, unlike modern hardware, these machines used to come with enough hardware documentation to allow the motivated programmer to write code for it. It's not just astounding that you did this, and so quickly, but why. I hope this isn't lost on the rest of the world, and look forward to seeing some press about it. (If I'm not reading more politics into this than are really there.) Thanks, OpenBSD, for all your great work in both spheres. -- deanna at sdf

Would this be his box? http://user.dtcc.edu/~ctribo/88k/index.html Yes, with an older kernel. Miod
