OpenBSD/MACHINE OSREV runs on iMac, G4 Power Macintosh, G4 Cube as well
as possibly some other G3 Macintosh systems.  Older ADB-based systems
will not work, only USB keyboard is supported.

Has been tested on iMac Rev A/233MHz and Rev C/333MHz machines, several
Power Macintosh G4 systems (single and dual processor), as well as the
G4 Cube.  Some success has been reported on a PowerBook, however this
is not well supported.

Some code has been written to work better on the B&W G3, but has never
been retested.  Hardware availability is currently limiting development on
these systems.

Supported devices {:-include-:}:

	IDE hard disk controllers. iMac/G4 onboard supported.
	SCSI host adapters:
		Symbios Logic (NCR) 53C8xx-based PCI SCSI host adapters

	AGP/SVGA/VGA Display Adapters: Primary Openfirmware display only.

	Serial ports:

	Ethernet adapters:
		Digital DC21x4x-based PCI Ethernet adapters, including:
			Znyx ZX34X
		Onboard iMac 10-100Mbs Ethernet, 100Mbs untested.
		Onboard G4 (gm) ethernet.

	Tape drives:
		SCSI Tape drives

	CD-ROM drives:
		SCSI CD-ROM drives
		Atapi CD-ROM drives

	Mice:
