Since no one else has followed up...

Nothing is `slated' to be supported.  4.4BSD will run on whatever it
has been made to run on by the time it gets released.  4.3BSD-reno
currently runs on:

	VAX series: uVAX 2 and 3 (not all configurations),
		11/730, 11/750, 11/780, 11/785, 8200, 8250,
		8600, 8650;
	Harris/Sperry/ICL `Tahoe' series: HCX-7, HCX-9, and equivalents;
	HP 9000/300;
	whatever 386 boxes Bill Jolitz has at the moment.

If you want to ensure that 4BSD runs on your machine, buy a half dozen
or so and give them to the UCB CSRG people to take home. :-)
