Hardware Wanted
|

</h2>

<p>
|
|
The following list outlines hardware that the OpenBSD project could use.
|
|
There are a number of reasons why developers need hardware, and it is important
|
|
to first of all realize these reasons:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To support a specific device, normally one which is more rare or new.
|
|
<li>To be part of their development environment.
|
|
<li>Some types of machines may be different in some way
|
|
(i.e. big-endian or unsigned-char) and ensure that developers
|
|
write code more carefully.
|
|
<li>That said, space or power may be at a premium for some people.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you do not own these devices, but want to help us, we recommend you
|
|
search on <a href="https://www.ebay.com">eBay</a> for the devices. If
|
|
you do the bidding and then get the device shipped to us, it really
|
|
helps us. It is better if developers develop, and skip the bidding process,
|
|
since any time saved can be spent on improving OpenBSD instead.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If it is clear which specific developer should be contacted, please do
|
|
so directly. Otherwise contact <a href="mailto:deraadt@openbsd.org">Theo de Raadt</a>
|
|
who will pass on the message to whichever developers are in need.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please be very clear as to where you are located!! For larger items this
|
|
can be very important.

<h3>General device requirements</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We try to spread these types of devices around our development community.
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Laptops. These die often enough that as a group our needier
|
|
developers need help replacing about 2-3 per year.
|
|
<li>Apple Mac powerpc equipment.
|
|
<li>HP J6750 machines (J6700 is the second best choice).
|
|
<li>Faster & smaller sparc64 machines, for instance 1U rack mount
|
|
machines. It is important to spread sparc64 around the development
|
|
community, since it is the most strict platform for detecting non-portable
|
|
or buggy code.
|
|
<li>Any amd64 or faster i386 hardware which comes available.
|
|
<li>We generally do not need older and "very common" ISA/PCI equipment, since
|
|
our developers will generally have gotten their hands on these in the
|
|
past.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
