+	$NetBSD: README,v 1.9 1995/09/16 12:00:21 ragge Exp $
+
+Devices supported in kernel and _known_ to work:
+CPU:	VAX 11/750 with 2-14MB of memory.
+	KA630 (MicroVAX II) with 2-16 MB memory.
+
+Net:	DEUNA/DELUA Unibus ethernet cards.
+	DEQNA/DELQA Q22 bus ethernet cards.
+
+Disks:	UDA50 Unibus MSCP controller.
+	KDA50/RQDX3 Q22 bus MSCP controller.
+		RA??-disks on UDA50 or KDA50.
+		RD??-disks on RQDX3. (known as RA?? by system).
+
+Tapes:	DILOG Q22 bus tape ctlr w/ Exabyte. (TMSCP emulating)
+	TSV05 Q22 bus tape ctlr.
+	TK50 (TMSCP) on Q22 bus.
+		Other TMSCP ctlrs may also work, but haven't tried.
+
+
+To install and run NetBSD/vax you need a MicroVAX II or VAX 11/750
+with at least 4MB of memory, and a usable install media. Supported
+install media is TK50 tape and RX33/RX50 floppy. If you do initial
+installation from floppy then you need a way to load the rest of
+the system, like tape or ethernet. 
+NOTE! TU58 INSTALLATION IS NOT YET SUPPORTED, BUT WILL BE.
+
+Actually, the system will run fine on only 2MB of memory, but
+installation program needs 4MB. If this causes trouble for someone
+tell me and I'll fix it.
+
+Differences between the NetBSD/vax port and other ports:
+ * It uses gcc 2.7.0 as default compiler.
+ * libm is not the same as the other ports; instead it is 4.4BSD libm. 
+ * No dynamic linked libraries, all binaries is statically linked.
+These things will be fixed in the future.
+
+
+We who have done parts of the VAX port is:
+	Joachim Isaksson, first pmap and lots of help with gcc functionality.
+	Mattias Gr|nlund, locore assembler and interrupt handling.
+	Mattias ]slund, lots of help and ideas everywhere.
+	Bertram Barth, bootblocks and boot routines for MicroVAX.
+	Rick Macklem, fixed all MicroVAX II, TMSCP and DEQNA support.
+	Anders Magnusson (ragge), that's me, who put things together
+		and wrote the rest.
+
+Have fun with it,
