NetBSD/Atari

NetBSD/Atari is the port of NetBSD to the Atari line of personal computers. Currently, NetBSD/Atari runs on the TT030,Falcon and Hades. In the future, the MegaST-PAK/3 systems may be supported, but that largely depends on contributions from others.

The History of NetBSD/Atari

The Atari port of NetBSD became available to the public in March 1995. The first formal release is NetBSD/Atari-1.1, the most recent formal release is NetBSD/Atari-1.2.

Leo Weppelman is the maintainer of NetBSD/Atari.

Supported Hardware

A minimal system should have a 68030 CPU, 4Mb RAM (of which 2Mb ST-RAM) and a SCSI-disk. An FPU is not really necessary because the BOOT and BOOTX kernels supplied in the distribution both contain FPU-emulation support. Although the current emulation does not yet cover the full mc68882 instruction set, you will see that you will get a very workable system.

Currently, the following devices are supported:
