Have you looked through it's supported platforms list? There's current support for a handheld PDA from 1997, and several flavors of 16 bit Motorola 68k based system. Systems that haven't had an official Unix port in 30+ years if at all, have modern, supported releases from NetBSD.

I am a NetBSD developer, I know exactly what it runs on. The 68k systems are all 32 bit, the supported PDAs can run Linux as well.

  You're not even a little bit tickled that NetBSD runs and supports the VAX, a computer released in the 70s? Get excited about your project, man. I'm sure you're a fantastic developer, but you're an absolutely terrible evangelist.

    That is how NetBSD is and always has been.

    Eh RIP OpenBSD/VAX. I do wonder if NetBSD/VAX actually boots on real hardware. The reason why these machines are/were supported for this long is because of how different they are (keeping your software portable is a good way of ensuring high quality/correctness); but they also suck power like mad, and do eventually just die.

    NetBSD devs are like ants in a colony without a queen. As a former dev, I can attest to this.
