    9: about="""
   10: NetBSD/mac68k is the port of NetBSD to Apple Macintosh computers that
   11: utilize the Motorola 68k-series processor. It should run on most
   12: Macintoshes with a 68040 or 68030 processor, and on Macs with a 68020
   13: processor (provided that they also have a 68851 PMMU). For Macs using
   14: the PowerPC processor, please take a look at
   15: [[NetBSD/macppc|macppc]].
   16: 
   17: The mac68k port was originally known as MacBSD. It began as a port of
   18: the Berkeley Networking Release 2 (more commonly known as Net/2) with
   19: 386BSD-0.1 filling in the cracks. This was running in a basic form in
   20: the late spring of 1992. About that time, it became obvious that 386BSD
   21: was a dead end, and NetBSD looked like the way to go. The initial NetBSD
   22: merge was into the 0.8 released sources. The first formal release of
   23: NetBSD/mac68k was as a part of NetBSD 1.0. NetBSD/mac68k was the first
   24: free OS to run on a 680x0-based Macintosh, and currently supports more
   25: of these systems than any free OS.
   26: 
   27: Development activity on NetBSD/mac68k continues at its usual pace (in
   28: other words, when the volunteers find time). Much progress has been
   29: made, however, and most desktop systems can boot to a usable state.
