http://miod.online.fr/software/openbsd/stories/m88k.html

One interesting bit of trivial is Luna-88k workstations were heavily used to implement CMU Mach (which would eventually be used by Apple).

Job Snijders works closely with the artists each release, and runs the store.

No 32-bit sparc anymore (only UltraSPARC, aka sparc64).

No SunOS compatibility (despite Theo de Raadt inventing it for NetBSD, before being copied by other BSDs).

> Technically there's a niche flavour of 68k that still is supported because of a very dedicated man in Japan

luna88k, while related, is not 68k.

I never know how to navigate it as a Canadian either, most of them are US or Europe based.

I guess I'm naive to hold out for the anonymous bitcoin millionaires to donate "no strings" until I find something a bit more frictionless.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion, glad to hear you're getting sponsored for your FreeBSD work.

Location: Canada

Remote: Yes

Technologies: C, OpenBSD

I'm looking for monthly/yearly "no-strings" sponsors, not employment, if any individuals, companies (or bitcoin millionaires) would like to help a long-time OpenBSD slacker, unslack, I'd really like to focus more of my time on open source development (and advocacy), rather than making rent. Feel free to contact me (see HN bio).

> However, CS42L42 supports all the other common sample rates, and while the register layout and programming sequence is different, the actual values programmed in for 48 and 96 kHz are the same across both chips. What would happen if we simply took the values for all other sample rates from the CS42L42 datasheet and added those to the CS42L84 driver? As it turns out, you get support for those sample rates!

> The patch to enable hardware support for 44.1, 88.2, 176.4 and 192 kHz sample rates on both the input and output of the headphone jack was submitted directly upstream, and has been merged for 7.1. We also backported this to Asahi kernel 6.19.9, allowing users to take advantage of this immediately.

Nice bit of chip sleuthing and reverse engineering from the Asahi team!
