Contributing to NetBSD: Hardware

If you have hardware you could donate or loan to a NetBSD developer, or are interested in writing a driver and just need the hardware, this is the place to check. Each entry has a contact email address. Please cc , so we can update this page.

If you have anything you would like to add to this list, please contact us.

If your company would like to assist the NetBSD project, please see the appropriate page.

There is also a list of other donations

Developers looking for machines

AmigaCD32 with 68030 CPU card

Radoslaw Kujawa would like to extend NetBSD/amiga to support AmigaCD32-specific hardware (CD-ROM drive, Akiko, EEPROM, etc.). AmigaCD32 with 68030-based expansion is needed for this cause, due to MMU requirement. DCE SX-32 Pro is probably the only existing 68030 card for AmigaCD32, machines without MMU are not interesting.

PowerPC Mac hardware

Michael Lorenz is interested in an Old World Macintosh SMP machine, such as a PowerMac 9500/180MP to test macppc SMP support on. [20170303]

Developers looking for other hardware

PCI Video cards for Sun SPARC wanted

Michael Lorenz is interested in any PCI third party video card with FCode for use in Suns that we might be able to find documentation on. [20170303]

Sun SuperSPARC and HyperSPARC MBUS modules

Michael Lorenz is interested in SuperSPARC and HyperSPARC MBUS modules that have caches. Not interested in SM50 modules. [20170303]

MCA cards and documentation wanted

If you have some MCA (Micro-Channel Architecture, also referred to as only MC) cards in your junk pile you'd be willing to give away, please contact Jaromír Doleček . He is collecting them, so that drivers for the cards could be written, tested and added to the NetBSD tree. More information (as well as list of most wanted hardware) is at the NetBSD on IBM PS/2 page.

SGI o2 RAM wanted

Sevan Janiyan is looking for donations of additional RAM for an SGI o2 workstation to allow for regular runs of the ATF test suite and pkgsrc testing. Current system at hand has a mere 64MB which is insufficient for performing most tasks without swapping.

Hardware available to anyone who would like to write support

IBM POWERstation 320, model 7012 RS/6000

Dave Camp would be willing to give an IBM POWERstation 320, model 7012 RS/6000, to anyone who would like to port NetBSD to it. It was reported to be fully functional up until the hard drive crashed. This system is located near the San Francisco Bay area. [20000218]

DNSES EISA Synchronous Communications Controller

Jan-Hinrich Fessel has a DNSES EISA Synchronous Communications Controller with minimal docs (i.e. pinout and install guide) for anyone who is willing to do a port for it. It supports V.35@64kb V.24/V.28@19.2kb V.11/V.36@E1/T1 and V.10@64kb. [20170303]

Compaq NetFlex-2 ENET-TR card

Lloyd Parkes has a Compaq NetFlex-2 ENET-TR card, which is an EISA card that combines ethernet and token ring interfaces. He is happy to send it to anybody who is keen on writing EISA drivers. [20060122]

Intergraph Powerstorm 4D50T graphics card

Felix Triebel has a Intergraph Powerstorm 4D50T graphics card available for any developer wishing to add support for it. The card comes from a Digital Personal Workstation (Miata). [20020618]

SunPCi coprocessor card

Daniel van Eeden also has a SunPCi card from Sun Microsystems which is available to anyone who wants to write NetBSD guest and/or host support. It's the first PCI version (P/N X1131A-64.2) with AMD K6-2 CPU. [20060118]

Other Hardware available

Mac Quadra 840av

Craig Daniels has a Mac Quadra 840av with 48MB of RAM, 500MB hard drive and a 2x CD-ROM drive that he would like to donate for development on NetBSD/mac68k. He also has the original Mac 16" monitor as well. The items are located in Georgia, US.
