I have bought some Motorola MVME-187Cs on ebay and plan to put togeter
some boxes. I would like to loan/donate/sell these boxes out to
developers that want to help out but don't have any 88k hardware. I
think these would be great boxes to get the port going because:
- documentation on these are available.
- 187-Bug is a pretty useful lowlevel debugger.
- OpenBSD has an older port that could be referenced.
- The hardware is reasonably compact.(relative to my DG equiptment at
least)
- There are a few people out there whith similar hardware(I think)
including 188, 197, 198s. What is the most popular 88k hardware
anyway?
The specs on these boards are something like:
- 25MHz 88100 + 88200s
- 32Mb RAM
- 187-Bug on eeprom
- at least 2; probably 4 serial ports
- 1 parallel port
- SCSI
- Ethernet
- clock, timers, nvram etc.
- VME form factor
Anyone interested?
