About NetBSD/sun2
NetBSD/sun2 is the port of NetBSD to the
Sun Microsystems
sun2 series of computers, which are based on the
Motorola 68010 CPU with a Sun-designed custom MMU.
Sun sold these computers as both servers and desktop workstations
from the early to mid 1980's. They were superseded by the
sun3 systems, which are supported by NetBSD as
NetBSD/sun3.
Matt Fredette is the maintainer of NetBSD/sun2.
For frequently asked questions and links to Sun hardware
information, see the NetBSD/sun2 FAQ.
