-OpenBSD/Alpha's Status
-
-If you find an inaccuracy in this file, can clarify it in any place,
-etc., please send mail to alpha@openbsd.org.
-
-
-Supported hardware:
-
- AlphaStation {200,250,255,400} systems using the following
- peripherals:
-
- Supported hardware:
- NCR 53c810 SCSI (built-in or PCI board).
- Built-in ns16550 serial ports.
- DC21040-based ethernet (built-in or PCI board).
- DC21140-based PCI ethernet boards.
- DC21050-based PCI-PCI bridges (though other
- types of PCI-PCI bridges should work).
- PCI VGA video boards.
- DEC ZLXp-E1 (DC21030-based, "TGA") video boards.
- Keyboard.
- PS/2-style mice.
-
- Things that may work but haven't been tested:
- Built-in parallel ports.
- ISA ns16x50-family serial port boards.
- ISA ns16x50 multi-port serial boards.
- Other NCR 53c8xx SCSI boards.
-
- Things that ARE NOT supported at this time:
- Sound hardware (including Windows Sound System
- built-in on some machines).
- DEC ZLXp-E2 and ZLXp-E3 PCI video boards.
- Other PCI boards.
-
- AlphaStation 500 and 600 systems, with the same supported
- hardware list as the AlphaStation {200,250,255,400} systems.
- (NOTE THAT THAT MEANS THE AlphaStation 600's BUILT-IN SCSI
- CONTROLLERS DO NOT WORK. You'll need to get a 53c810 board,
- or run diskless.)
-
- AXPpci systems (including Multia), with the same supported
- hardware list as the AlphaStation {200,250,255,400} systems.
-
- EB164 (AlphaPC 164) systems, with the same supported hardware
- as systems mentioned above.
-
-At this time none of the following systems are supported:
- DEC 3000/[3456789]00
- DECpc AXP 150 systems (EISA-bus PC-like systems)
- Alpha "server" systems (other than perhaps the
- AlphaServer 400, which might be an AlphaStation 400
- in disguise).
- Multiprocessor Alpha systems
-
-Console frame buffers & keyboard are supported only with the frame
-buffers and keyboards mentioned as supported above. On other systems
-(including all TurboChannel-based machines), OpenBSD/Alpha _must_ be used
-with a serial console. To configure various Alpha systems to use a serial
-console, do the following depending on the model:
-
- DEC 3000/[4-9]00's:
- Flip the appropriate switch on the back of the machine.
-
- DEC 3000/300 family machines:
- Boot the machine with the keyboard/mouse connector
- unplugged.
-
- DECpc AXPs, AlphaStations, AXPpci, and EB164 systems:
- Get to the console prompt. Set the variable
- "console" to be "serial", and "init" or power cycle
- the system.
-
-See your owner's manual for more details on how to set your machine
-to use a serial console.
-
-
-See the file src/sys/arch/alpha/README to find out how to get the
-latest sources and binaries.
-
-Please see the file src/sys/arch/alpha/TODO.users for a list of things
-that users can do to help OpenBSD/Alpha improve. If you're interested
-in doing any of them, or porting to new hardware, get in touch and
-I'll do what I can to help.

-The OpenBSD/Alpha "User" To-Do List
-
-
-The following are things that we'd like to see "users" of OpenBSD/Alpha
-do. It's unlikely that we'll get around to them in any reasonable time
-frame, and we think they should get done.
-
-If you think of something that should be added to this list send us
-mail and we'll add it.
-
-If you're planning to work on something on this list, send us mail at
-alpha@openbsd.org and tell us about it, so that we can keep people from
-duplicating work.
