The 68K machines are, as far as I'm concerned, obsolete. The last one I used regularly (once or more a day) was the Mac LC 575, and that was in 1995. I do not care anymore for such worthless hardware. If you have a junky one around, it's probably good enough that NetBSD would be able to run on it (I think). The PowerPC platform.. that's another story. Hopefully someday FreeBSD will be ported to that platform. :-) -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
