Welcome to
3am Software's Home Page

I (in my guise as 3am Software) used to write drivers for various PC Network Adapters for FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSDI's BSD/OS, and SCO's UnixWare 2.0. But for the past few years I have solely concentrated on doing NetBSD-related things. And my hobby has grown into my vocation; I've been doing NetBSD-related work exclusively for the past two years.

The following network adapters are supported by one or more of my drivers:

• Digital Semiconductor 21040/21041-based Controllers (UnixWare)
• Digital Semiconductor 21040/21041/21140/21142/21143-based Controllers (FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSD/OS)
• DEC FDDI Controllers (UnixWare, FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSD/OS)
  • DEC DEFEA EISA FDDI Controller
  • DEC DEFPA PCI FDDI Controller
• DEC DECPA / EtherWORKS / EtherWORKS II (FreeBSD, BSD/OS)
  • Switch Settings for DEC EtherWORKS (DE10x)
  • Switch Settings for DEC EtherWORKS II (DE200,DE201,DE202)
• DEC EtherWORKS III (DE203, DE204, DE205) (FreeBSD)

While I don't guaruntee to fix all reported problems, I do try to do so in a timely manner. However problems are often due to broken hardware or brain-dead BIOS and those I can't fix.

Some projects for NetBSD that I'd like to start and/or finish someday:

• Firewire support for NetBSD
• Endnode DECnet Phase IV Implementation
• LAT daemon

Other NetBSD related projects that I've completed in the past:

• ELF support for NetBSD/alpha
• ELF support for NetBSD/vax (in binutils-2.13)
• a.out shared library for NetBSD/vax

Thanks for perusing my web site.

Cheers,
Matt Thomas
