   Hopefully MacBSD can be integrated into this whole process, too
   (E-mail for FAQ on MacBSD, such as it is :).

since the announcement i have received email about the possibility of
getting a 68kbsd going again, for the apollo specifically. i assume a
macBSD group would be slight related, given the motorola in common.

i have volunteered (been suckered) to set up a list for interested
apollo hackers. i am not as familiar with apollo hardware, but given
that it uses an ISA bus, at least some 386bsd code could be used,
although i realize its graphics card is atypical.

so all you people with APOLLO's interested in at least joining in some
talk please email me, and i'll set up some kind of list. there are
apparently people with apollo boot code and graphics routines already
done, but i have lost track of who these parties are. pointers
appreciated to these people!
