! 9: NetBSD/hp300 is the port of NetBSD to Hewlett-Packard 9000 Series 300 and 400
! 10: workstations. It runs on almost all workstations from this generation. Series
! 11: 700 and 800 workstations are not currently supported, but work is underway on
! 12: [NetBSD/hp700](ports/hp700).
! 13:
! 14: NetBSD/hp300 is based on work done by David P. Davis at the University of
! 15: California, Berkeley and the Systems Programming Group at the University of Utah
! 16: Department of Computer Science, beginning in the mid-80's. It was imported into
! 17: the NetBSD source tree on May 13, 1993. Special thanks are extended to David and
! 18: the Systems Programming Group for their work. Without it, the port would not
! 19: exist.

! 24: All systems with a FPU are supported in NetBSD/hp300 (this excludes the 310 and
! 25: 332). Systems marked with a "*" do not support the built-in framebuffer. You
! 26: will need to [set up a serial console](ports/hp300faq.html#serial400) on these
! 27: machines.
! 28:
! 29: The minimal configuration for a NetBSD/hp300 system requires 4M of RAM and about
! 30: 40M of disk space. For a full installation (including source and X11), at least
! 31: 8M of RAM and 200M of disk space are recommended.
! 32:
! 33: ###Supported Systems
! 34: * 320

! 51: > Series 400 machines must be configured in ["HP-UX Compatible Boot Mode".
! 52: > Follow these instructions](ports/hp300faq.html#domaintohpux) in the FAQ.
! 53:
! 54: Some specific configurations of the above models don't support a local console.
! 55: The 425e (and some rare 4XXt and 4XXdl machines) have their graphics device on
! 56: the SGC bus, which is currently unsupported. Also, to use local console on a
! 57: Series 400 workstation, you must currently use a HP-HIL keyboard/mouse (instead
! 58: of Domain keyboard/mouse).
