8: about="""
9: NetBSD/i386 is the port of NetBSD to generic machines ("PC clones") with 32-bit x86-family processors. It runs on PCI-Express, PCI, and CardBus systems, as well as older hardware with PCMCIA, VL-bus, EISA, MCA, and ISA (AT-bus) interfaces, with or without math coprocessors.
10:
11: NetBSD/i386 was the original port of NetBSD, and was initially released as [NetBSD 0.8](http://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-0.8/) in 1993.
12:
13: Frank van der Linden is the current port maintainer of NetBSD/i386.

16: supported_hardware="""
17: The minimal configuration for a NetBSD/i386 system requires 4M of RAM and about 40M of disk space.
18:
19: For a full installation (including source and X11), at least 8M of RAM and 200M of disk space are recommended.
20:
21: Any i486 or better CPU should work - genuine Intel or a compatible such as Cyrix, AMD, or NexGen.

34: * Machine-independent drivers for MCA devices
35: * Standard PC floppy controllers (fdc) and drives (fd)
36: * Adaptec 284x VLbus SCSI host adapters (ahc)
