- Hi! At the end of September I got an HP 9000/715, and I grabbed
- all of the OpenBSD/hppa code and started working on it. Michael

- foundation of code, which has saved me months of time. Now, after
- a lot of coding myself I'm into single-user mode.
Congratulations!
- This is really just a sneak preview - this entire effort is still
- in its earliest stages. The system is not stable. Many questions
- that you may have, I may not be able to answer (I'm no expert on
- the architecture - but I am learning more every day.) I don't have
- anything that can be downloaded and generally used yet, on the 715
- or any other machine.
Any patches to share? (says the last guy to attempt
this project! :-) I'd really like to try making it work on my
715/33, 720, and 735/120, if possible (and then my C160 a bit
later.. :-)
If nothing else, I can offer others access to the farm
of machines here..
