hardware revision 1.6
1NetBSD/mac68k _VER runs on several of the older Macintosh computers.
2About 4MB of RAM should be sufficient to boot and the system can probably
3be squeezed onto a 40MB hard disk by leaving off an unnecessary set or two.
4To actually do much compiling or anything more interesting than booting, at
5least 8MB of RAM and more disk space is recommended.  About 75MB will be
6necessary to install all of the NetBSD _VER binary system distribution
7sets (note that this does not count swap space!).  An addition 25MB or so
8is needed for the binary X11 distribution sets.  Much more disk space is
9required to install the source and objects as well (about another 200-300MB
10as a guess).

22=======
23	Quadra/Centris 660AV, Quadra 840AV
24>>>>>>> 1.5
25
26Supported devices on all of the above systems include:
27	Onboard SCSI bus and most SCSI tapes, hard drives, and CD-ROMs
28	Internal sound--enough to beep on some machines, anyway
29<<<<<<< 1.4
30	Most basic NuBUS video cards (there have been some
31		problems with some 24-bit color cards)
32=======
33	Most basic NuBus video cards (there have been some
34		problems with some 24-bit color cards and with most
35                QuickDraw acclerators)
36>>>>>>> 1.5
37	Both internal serial ports
38	ADB keyboards and mice (both Apple and a number of third party
39<<<<<<< 1.4
40		multi-button mice are supported)
41=======
42		multi-button mice and trackballs are supported)
43>>>>>>> 1.5
44	Ethernet cards based on the Natl. Semiconductor 8390 and the
45		SONIC (DP83932) chips
46		(Asante, Apple, and a few others--problems still
47		 with ethernet and many NuBus video cards).
48	Onboard ethernet based on the SONIC chip for Quadra-series Macs
49<<<<<<< 1.4
50=======
51	Onboard ethernet based on the MACE chip for the AV Quadras.
52	Comm-slot ethernet may be working for some machines/cards.
53>>>>>>> 1.5

55If your 68030 system is not listed above, it may be because of a problem
56with accessing onboard video, and it may still work with a serial console.
57Some of the known ones in this category:
58	Classic-series Macs 
59	PowerBook 100-series and Duo-series Macs
60
61If your 68LC040 system is not listed above, it is due to a problem with
62floating point emulation (FPE) for this type of processor.  Machines in
63this category include:
64	Newer LC-series machines
65	Newer Performa-series machines
66<<<<<<< 1.4
67=======
68	Some PowerBook 500-series Macs
69>>>>>>> 1.5

71What isn't supported, but often asked about:
72	Macintosh IIfx:  This machine has unusual custom chips for the
73		ADB and serial interfaces which makes support for it
74		difficult.  Work is in progress on this, though.
75	Quadra 900/950:  These machines have I/O processor chips for their
76		ADB interfaces similar to those used in the IIfx and thus
77		face similar support problems.
78	PowerPC-based Macs.  This will be separate from this port.
79 		The PowerPC is a much different processor as is much of
80		the hardware inside these machines.  If you are
81		interested in this, you might want to take a look at 
82		http://www.mklinux.apple.com/.  In addition, there is
83		also a NetBSD-powerpc port.  For more information, please
