It runs on almost all workstations from this generation. Series 700 and 800 workstations are supported by [[NetBSD/hppa|hppa]]. NetBSD/hp300 is based on work done by David P. Davis at the University of California, Berkeley and the Systems Programming Group at the University of Utah Department of Computer Science, beginning in the mid-80's. It was imported into the NetBSD source tree on May 13, 1993. Special thanks are extended to David and the Systems Programming Group for their work. Without it, the port would not exist. [[hp300 FAQ|hp300faq]] """ supported_hardware=""" All systems with a FPU are supported in NetBSD/hp300 (this excludes the 310 and 332). Systems marked with a "*" do not support the built-in framebuffer. You will need to [[set up a serial console|hp300faq#serial400]] on these machines. The minimal configuration for a NetBSD/hp300 system requires 4M of RAM and about 40M of disk space. For a full installation (including source and X11), at least 8M of RAM and 200M of disk space are recommended. ###Supported Systems * 320 * 318, 319, 330 * 340 * 350 * 360 * 362 * 370 * 345, 375 * 380 * 382 * 385 * 400s, 400t, 400dl * 425s, 425t, 425dl * 425e \* * 433s, 433t, 433dl 'note' > Series 400 machines must be configured in [["HP-UX Compatible Boot Mode". > Follow these instructions|hp300faq#domaintohpux]] in the FAQ. Some specific configurations of the above models don't support a local console. The 425e (and some rare 4XXt and 4XXdl machines) have their graphics device on the SGC bus, which is currently unsupported. Also, to use local console on a Series 400 workstation, you must currently use a HP-HIL keyboard/mouse (instead of Domain keyboard/mouse). ###Supported Hardware Devices (driver names in parenthesis) supported by NetBSD/hp300 include (list may not be complete): * CPUs: * 318 (16 MHz 68020, with built-in monochrome framebuffer, no expansion) * 319 (16 MHz 68020, with built-in 6 bit color framebuffer, no expansion) * 320 (16 MHz 68020, 16 KB L2 cache, up to 7.5 MB RAM) requires Human Interface board * 330 (16 MHz 68020, 4 MB on motherboard, up to 8 MB RAM) requires Human Interface board * 340 (16 MHz 68030, up to 16 MB RAM) * 345 (50 MHz 68030 with 32 KB L2 cache, up to 128 MB RAM, built-in SCSI) * 350 (25 MHz 68020, 32 KB L2 cache, up to 48 MB RAM) requires Human Interface board * 360 (25 MHz 68030, with 4 MB RAM built-in, up to 48 MB RAM) requires System Interface board * 362 (25 MHz 68030 with unsupported framebuffer, up to 16 MB RAM, built-in SCSI) * 370 (33 MHz 68030, 64 KB L2 cache, up to 48 MB RAM) requires System Interface board * 375 (50 MHz 68030 with 32 KB L2 cache, up to 128 MB RAM, built-in SCSI) * 380 (25 MHz 68040, up to 128 MB RAM, built-in SCSI) * 382 (25 MHz 68040 with unsupported framebuffer, up to 32 MB RAM, built-in SCSI) * 385 (33 MHz 68040, up to 128 MB RAM, built-in SCSI) * 400s, 400t, 400dl (50 MHz 68030 with 32 KB L2 cache, built-in SCSI, up to 128 MB RAM) * 425s, 425t, 425dl (25 MHz 68040 with built-in SCSI, up to 128 MB RAM) * 425e (25 MHz 68040 with unsupported framebuffer, built-in SCSI) * 433s, 433t, 433dl (33 MHz 68040 with built-in SCSI, up to 128 MB RAM) * HP-IB devices (known working, possibly more): * 98624 HP-IB interface (DIO-I board or built-in) (nhpib) * 98625A and 98625B 'fast' HP-IB interface (DIO-I board or daughtercard for 98562) (fhpib) * CS80 Hard drives: 2200, 2203, 7912, 7914, 7933, 7936, 7937, 7945, 7946, 7957, 7958, and 7959 (rd) * CS80 tape drives - Low density, 16 track (67 MB): 7912, 7914, 7946, and 9144 (ct) Cannot read or write 32 track tapes * CS80 tape drives - High density, 32 track (134 MB): 9145 (ct) Cannot write to 16 track tapes (only read) * Half-inch tape drives: 7974A, 7978A, 7980A, and 7980XC (mt) * Printers and plotters: 7475, 7585, and ThinkJet (ppi) * Floppy drives: 9122, 9134 (possibly others) (rd) requires use of HP-UX LIF utilities via emulation * SCSI devices: * 98265A SCSI interface (DIO-I board, daughtercard for 98562, or built-in) (spc) * All SCSI devices supported by machine-independent SCSI drivers. * RS-232 serial interfaces (supports terminals, ppp, and printers/plotters): * built-in single serial port on System Interface board and Human Interface board (com) * built-in Apollo 4-port on Series 400 workstations (com) * 98638 8-port (DIO-II board, appears to kernel as two 98642 devices) (dcm) * 98642 4-port (DIO-I board) (dcm) * 98626, 98644 built-in or add-on (DIO-I board) single serial port (com) * Network Interfaces: * 98643 built-in and add-on (DIO-I board) Ethernet cards (le) * Graphics Devices (wsdisplay): * 98544 monochrome Topcat (1024x768, 1 bit, DIO-II) (topcat) * 98545A color Topcat (1024x768, 4 bits, DIO-II) (topcat) * 98547 color Topcat (1024x768, 6 bits) (topcat) * 98548A monochrome Catseye (1024x768, 1 bit) (topcat) * 98549A color Catseye (1024x768, 6 bits) (topcat) * 98550A Catseye Hi-Res Color (a.k.a.
