$NetBSD: hardware,v 1.5 1998/01/19 20:34:33 phil Exp $
NetBSD/pc532 _VER runs on a PC532 computer. It supports a subset of the
"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.
(Source and ROM images of the autoboot monitor are located at
ftp://ftp.cs.wwu.edu/pub/pc532/mon.auto.tar.gz.)
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.
