Developers looking for machines

AmigaCD32 with 68030 CPU card

Radoslaw Kujawa would like to extend NetBSD/amiga to support AmigaCD32-specific hardware (CD-ROM drive, Akiko, EEPROM, etc.). AmigaCD32 with 68030-based expansion is needed for this cause, due to MMU requirement. DCE SX-32 Pro is probably the only existing 68030 card for AmigaCD32, machines without MMU are not interesting.

IBM POWERstation 320, model 7012 RS/6000

Dave Camp would be willing to give an IBM POWERstation 320, model 7012 RS/6000, to anyone who would like to port NetBSD to it. It was reported to be fully functional up until the hard drive crashed. This system is located near the San Francisco Bay area. [20000218]
