NetBSD/pc532 1.1 runs on a PC532 computer. It supports a subset of the
1994-10-25 12:08:25 +03:00
"standard" hardware to date. This is defined as:
4 - 32 Megs of memory
8 serial lines done by 4 scn2681 chips
the NCR DP8490 SCSI chip (scsi only)
Most SCSI disks work (fixed and floppy)
A few SCSI tapes work
Some SCSI CD-ROM drives work
The Matthias Pfaller Parallel Port.

NetBSD/pc532 currently expects the ROM monitor to be the "autoboot
monitor" of Oct/Nov 1991. It includes support to set up auto booting
of NetBSD, including a secondary boot program that the autoboot monitor
will load that in turn loads the NetBSD kernel from a NetBSD file system.
Most of the pc532 specific development of NetBSD/pc532 was done on a
machine with 8-Megs of memory. It should run with 4-Megs of memory
although it may be slower.
