About NetBSD/hp700
NetBSD/hp700 is the port of NetBSD to the
Hewlett-Packard
9000 Series 700 workstations, which are based on HP's
Precision Architecture RISC (PA-RISC) CPUs. These
machines superseded the HP 9000 Series 300 and 400
workstations, which are supported by NetBSD
as NetBSD/hp300.
Matt Fredette is the maintainer of NetBSD/hp700.
Its current status is that of an experimental port. This port
is derived from Michael Shalayeff's
OpenBSD/hppa port,
and owes much to his effort.
For frequently asked questions and links to HP hardware
information, see the NetBSD/hp700 FAQ.
