NetBSD/pmax 1.2 runs on the following classes of machines:
|
|
- Decstation 2100 and 3100, also known as "pmin" and "pmax"
|
|
- Personal Decstations (5000/20, and /25) also knonw as "MAXINE"
|
|
- Decstation 5000/120, /125, and /133, also knonw as "3MIN"
|
|
- Decstation 5000/200, also knonw as "3MAX"
|
|
- Decstation 5000/240, als knonw as "3MAXPLUS"
|
|
|
|
NetBSD/pmax 1.2 does *not* (yet) run on these machines:
|
|
- Decstation 5100 (an r2000-based cousin of the Decstation 3100)
|
|
- Decsystem 5400 and 5500 (Qbus-based systems, similar to
|
|
a Vax 'Mayfair' and 'Mayfair II', but with an r2000a or r3000
|
|
cpu instead of a CVAX cpu.)
|
|
- Decsystem 5800 (xbi-based multiprocessor, a Vax 8800 with
|
|
Vax CPU boards replaced with Mips cpu boards)
|
|
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 8M of RAM and ~60M of disk space.
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
|
|
X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (NetBSD with 8M of
|
|
RAM feels like Ultrix with 8M of RAM.) Note that until you have
|
|
around 16M of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a
|
|
faster CPU.
|
|
|
|
Supported devices include:
|
|
Decstation 2100 and 3100 baseboard video:
|
|
pm one-bit mono or 8-bit pseudocolour fraem buffers.
|
|
|
|
Decstation 5000 series TurboChannel video:
|
|
PMAG-DV Personal Decstation baseboard 1024x768 frame buffer.
|
|
PMAG-BA 1024x768 8-bit colour frame buffer.
|
|
PMAGB-BA 1024x768 8-bit colour frame buffer.
|
|
PMAG-AA 1280x1024 four-bit greyscale frame buffer.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: All supported DECstation vide produces sync-on-green.
|
|
Be sure to use either a DEC-compatible fixed-sync monitor
|
|
or a multisync monitor that supports sync-on-green.
|
|
|
|
serial ports:
|
|
ttya and ttyb (can be used as console if needed)
|
|
|
|
ethernet:
|
|
on-board AMD Lance ethernet ("le0"),
|
|
TURBOchannel AMD Lance ethernet cards.
|
|
|
|
SCSI:
|
|
on-board DEC "sii" SCSI controller (2100 and 3100)
|
|
on-board "asc" SCSI controller (5000 series machines)
|
|
TurboChannel "asc" SCSI controller,
|
|
DEC (LK-201 or compatible) keyboard
|
|
DEC ("hockey puck" or compatible) mouse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get questions
|
|
about from time to time:
|
|
Q-bus Decsystem machines
|
|
Decstation 5100 machines
|
|
PrestoServe NVRAM on Decstation 5100 machines
|
|
audio drivers for Personal Decstation machines
|
|
floppy driver for Personal Decstation machines
|
|
TurboChannel audio hardware (LoFi)
|
|
PMAG-C 2-D accelerated framebuffers with onboard i860 processors
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the primary obstacle to support of all but the very
|
|
last item is non-availability of sample hardware for development.
|
|
|
|
The primary obstacle for the i860-based framebuffers is that there
|
|
is no documentation on the accelerator board.
