	I have been trying to get a working port for the 
DB32016 board, and have been running into nothing but walls.
One company made a verbal agreement to help the computer club port 
a BSD 4.1 system to the clubs computer. But trying to get this 
company to do anything is like pulling teeth.  So, I am afraid that 
this company will just drop us all together. 

	Presently, the club has a DB32016 Development Board that 
has the following: 

	a custom set of boot proms. (From that company) 

	a BLX interface that interfaces to a Western Digital 
	1002-5 disk controller. 

	(2) Micropolus 1504 (53 Mb) disk drives. 
	
	(2) flopsies (5 1/4" 96tpi) 

If anyone has information about someone porting BSD 4.1 or 4.2 to this board
with either the controller mentioned above or another type, please 
contact me.  We have been working on this project for over 2 years and
have not got unix compleatly running.  All we could get up is a minimal
unix system where we could just do cd's and ls's.  It does get a little 
boaring when you can't do anything else.  Any help would be apprciated. 

Thanks, 
Don Thomas
