The only currently supported model is the SGI O2. The "little blue toaster" O2 systems are a lot of fun and amazingly quick when they have lots of RAM. When you stuff them full of RAM, they just scream, moreso than any other arch I've used. I've got a few O2 systems over here but I haven't touched the for months and haven't used them with OpenBSD since 3.6/3.7. Even with the earlier OpenBSD releases, once you get past the SGI-isms, they work very well. Kind Regards, JCR
