A little information about this machine
lilith is an Amiga 1200 that has been in constant service since 1995, which
means it has executed somewhere between 4 and 4.5 x 10^16 instructions to date.
lilith is equipped with a phase5 Blizzard 1260 with 60 MHz m68060, Blizzard SCSI IV module
(DMA Fast SCSI-2), 256 megs of memory and a 500 gig low power SATA drive on the SCSI bus.
It has painstakingly been built into a 1U rackmount case with PCMCIA 10/100 Mbps ethernet,
a scandoubler (which provides 31 kHz video at all times for use with regular
monitors), a keyboard port, audio/video out (hey, you never know!), cool LEDs,
a CompactFlash to IDE adapter to boot the kernel off of a 2 gig CF card,
and lots of fancy wiring and mounting to get everything to fit as planned.

This machine will be the server in a distributed package building system which will be used
to help many of the ports which generally do not have fast machines by distributing
the package building chores over the Internet to many volunteers. Please contact me
if you would like more information or if you'd like to help.
This system is also used for compiling pkgsrc packages and testing NetBSD compiled with
-msoft-float for use of NetBSD on m68k systems which do not have FPUs and / or have
broken FPU trap handling (most of the LC040 CPUs have this problem). This means
that many m68k Macintosh PowerBooks, some Performas, Quadras, and Centris computers
as well as some Amigas will can run NetBSD perfectly reliably.
