This is the right place to ask, but the answer is, no, FreeBSD only supports the Intel processors at the minimum 386 level, and above. I've not heard of any effort to move it to 8088, or 80286, for that matter. I'm pretty sure I would have heard of any such plans. > -Paul > ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
