NetBSD/mac68k 1.1 runs on several of the older Macintosh computers.
|
|
4MB of RAM should be sufficient to boot and the system can probably
|
|
be squeezed onto a 40MB hard disk by leaving off a package or two.
|
|
To actually do much compiling or anything more interesting than
|
|
booting, at least 8MB of RAM and more disk space is recommended.
|
|
About 50MB will be necessary to install all of the NetBSD 1.1 binary
|
|
distribution (note that this does not count swap space!). Much more
|
|
disk space is required to install the source and objects as well (about
|
|
another 105MB).
|
|
|
|
Supported models:
|
|
Mac II, Mac IIx, Mac IIcx, Mac IIci, Mac SE/30,
|
|
Mac IIsi, Mac IIvx, Mac IIvi, Performa 600
|
|
|
|
Supported devices on all of the above systems include:
|
|
Internal SCSI bus and most SCSI tapes, hard drives, and CD-ROMs
|
|
Internal sound--enough to beep on some machines, anyway
|
|
Most basic NuBUS video cards (there have been some
|
|
problems with some 24-bit color cards)
|
|
Both internal serial ports
|
|
ADB keyboards and mice
|
|
Ethernet cards based on the Natl. Semiconductor 8390
|
|
(Asante, Apple, and a few others) [problems
|
|
reported on the Performa 600, though].
|
|
|
|
Some systems will boot and are usable from an external terminal
|
|
(serial tty or SL/IP):
|
|
LC III
|
|
Performa 550
|
|
possibly others
|
|
|
|
What isn't supported, but often asked about:
|
|
68040-based Macs. Work is in progress on getting a Quadra 700
|
|
running. This requires a new scsi driver and a new
|
|
ethernet driver.
|
|
PowerPC-based Macs. Work will begin on this, sometime soon.
|
|
It will be separate from this port, though. The PowerPC
|
|
is a much different processor.
