NetBSD on a Sony Network Station NWS-3260

[Gerrit Meenen]

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to get NetBSD running on a Sony Network Station NWS-3260.

While searching the net I came across alot of postings from November 2002
at gmane.os.netbsd.ports.newsmips:35

Despite having read all the postings I still do not know which version
of netbsd I should try.

There are some snapshots made at that time and by comparing the dates I
assume they might be part of the newsmips portation of netbsd 1.6.1 which was
released april 2003 or netbsd 1.6.2 released march 2004.

What would be the best version to get things running?

Cheers

IIRC, NWS-3260 laptop has the similar hardware with NWS-34x0
(except chassis and LCD screen), it should work on serial console.

There was some work to support the LCD device, but
I don't know current status of it.

At least, NetBSD 3.1 release works on my 3470D:
