3.1 NetBSD/mac68k related WWW sites (top)

Please note that Allen Brigg's machine, puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us, has undergone a name change to make things a little more convenient. Here are the new names:

• ftp.macbsd.com
• www.macbsd.com
• mail.macbsd.com
• puma.macbsd.com

The NetBSD Project Page:

http://www.NetBSD.org/

This is the official Home Page for NetBSD. It contains information about all of the NetBSD ports.

MacBSD's Home:

http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/

NetBSD/mac68k User Database

http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/spearce/

This is the interface to a searchable database of MacBSD users (i.e. their machines, hardware configurations, etc.) If you are running NetBSD/mac68k in any way, please add yourself to the User Database. The information presented in it might be a little out of date, however.

Benoit Martel's UN*X Benchmarks Page:

http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~magus/unixbench.html

BYTE magazine's "BYTE UNIX Benchmark" and results for several NetBSD/mac68k systems. Take the test and see how your system compares to the rest of the UN*X crowd. Be sure to send in your results.

John Wittkoski's HWDIRECT ADB Kernel Info Page:

http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/jpw/adb.html

Descriptions, details, kernels, and source for those who need to build their own HWDIRECT kernels.

Michael Zucca's Project Page:

http://www.rit.edu/~mrz5149/projects.html

Michael's page on color internal video support for NetBSD/mac68k. Check here for the status of working color internal video on II-series and Quadra-series hardware.

Takashi Hamada's Power Manager Page:

http://www.lisai.net/~hamada/Acti/Netbsd/

Takashi's page on his implementation of the Power Manager which allows most PowerBook models to work with NetBSD.

Daishi Kato's PowerBook Duo Page:

http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-SanJose/4064/netbsd/index-e.html

Daishi's page includes pointers to kernels which have allowed Duo-series PowerBooks to boot at least into single-user mode.

Ken Nakata's LC040 FPE Page:

http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/LC040-and-BSD.html

Ken has a lot of information here about the bug that plagues the 'LC040-based Macs. Check it out for the status of the work or if you would like to contribute yourself.

Mark Routbort's port-mac68k Mailing List Archive Search Utility:

http://routbort.neuro.duke.edu/netbsd/

A GLIMPSE-based search of past mailing list archives. The archive is maintained for port-mac68k mailing list issues from September 1995 to the present. This is an excellent resource if you cannot find information in the standard locations and feel that your questions may have been discussed before.

Mark Andres' MacBSD Site:

http://www2.giganet.net/~mark/NetBSD/

Mark has a kernel locator database here, as well as descriptions of his experiences running NetBSD and a binaries archive, and a number of very useful HOWTO documents.

FindMail's ListSaver archives:

http://www.egroups.com/listsaver/port-mac68k/

FindMail Communications archives a number mailing lists, including the port-mac68k list. The archives are fully searchable. A very nice resource.

3.2 Some useful ftp sites (top)

The NetBSD ftp server:

ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/

This is the site for official NetBSD distributions and source, as well as for -current source and user-contributed binaries. A current binary snapshot is also available here at ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/new/

Allen Brigg's ftp server:

ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD

A wealth of useful stuff for NetBSD/mac68k, including a mirror of Steve Allen's site and the original MacBSD site on cray-ymp.

Allen Brigg's current kernels:

ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/outgoing/briggs/

Current GENERIC test kernels courtesy of Allen. Right now most of these kernels are for testing various improvements to the Quadra-series Macs.

Scott Reynold's current kernels and snapshots:

ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/

A variety of -current GENERIC kernels binary snapshots courtesy of Scott. These snapshots are usually tested enough to be fairly stable.

Steve Allen's NetBSD ftp and web servers:

ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/w/wormey/netbsd
http://www.eskimo.com/~wormey/

An archive of NetBSD/mac68k utilities and applications as well as -current compiled kernels and tar archives of recent binaries. Steve is back in production after a short haitus, so this site might be more recent than Scott's.

John Wittkoski's ABD test kernels:

ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/outgoing/jpw/kernels/current/

Kernels compiled with John's new ABD driver built in (i.e. support for IIsi, LC III, IIvi/vx, Performa 600, Color Classic, Classic II, and many more). Also, source for the new ADB driver so you can make your own kernels.

Steve Brown's Quadra-video test kernels:

ftp://ftp9.ba.best.com/pub/sbrown/NetBSD/kernels/

Steve's MADHATTER and DORMOUSE kernels which allow the Quadra-series Macs to run B&W and color X, respectively. Also available in other directories are precompiled binaries and recent versions of the Installer utility, as well as colorkit patches for -current.

NetBSD-mac68k Binaries:

ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/contrib/

This site contains user-contributed binaries compiled for NetBSD/mac68k. Many popular programs are included.

NetBSD-Amiga Archives:

ftp://ftp.uni-regensburg.de/pub/NetBSD-Amiga/

This site contains a tremendous number of binaries compiled for NetBSD/Amiga. Most of these binaries will also work quite well with NetBSD/mac68k. A list of mirror sites is also available there.
