This article (which I'm convinced was "written" by GPT) is actively misleading, since NetBSD isn't supported on any of the legacy hardware described and even pictured in the article.
The change isn't even that huge, since wsfb was already supported on most common Amiga graphics cards, including CyberVision, Picasso, Piccolo, Spectrum, Domino, Merlin and oMnibus.
Here are the release notes for 9.3:

- rjsw 4y agoI don't think it is GPT generated, seems similar to the kind of stuff on Phoronix that has been editorialized from mailing list posts, which of the legacy hardware mentioned do you feel is incorrect?
- LeoPanthera 4y agoIt shows an Amiga 500, and specifies "released in 1985".
- johnklos 4y agoPerhaps it was poorly translated. It's hard to say. But be aware that there are many, many dozens of accelerators for the Amiga 500, so it is, in fact, easy to have NetBSD running on such hardware.
