It will >probably be up and running on 11/750's in a few months. As soon as the locore.s, pmap.c, and some other low level stuff is done for the 750's, several of us will blow the dust out of our MicroVAX II/III/III+ systems and get NetBSD working on them. Most of the device drivers for the QBUS machines are not covered by DEC or USL licenses since it was contributed to UCB by Mt Xinu. So with luck, the QBUS machines will be supported earlier than the SBI/Unibus ones. -- Paul Vixie Redwood City, CA decwrl!vixie!paul <paul@vix.com>
