Re: Testing NetBSD on a cd32

Hi.

I thought I was subscribed to this list but I must have imagined that.
My reply will probably be more broken than usual. Sorry.

Ah, cool. AROS has a compatible license too ISTR.
Is the CD32 the only thing that ever used that propriety interface?

Didn't think about that. Wonder how the "Gayle" on the TF330 would handle two devices on the cable...
I don't have one of those cards or suitable cables/adapters for 2xCF or CF+2.5" anyways. Which CF NICs do we support?
The CD32 lacks standard Amiga serial port so slip(4) isn't an option either.
I'm not sure how the serial in the AUX port is hooked up but I'm pretty sure it would need it's own driver.
A cable for this would be pretty easy to build for anyone wanting to try.
