No new news on that front. Do you have any hardware docs for the
Duo? If Apple designed it to look just like a powerbook to the
system software, we might be able to get it to partially work--we
don't have documentation for the Powerbook, either.
The best place for this kind of question is the macbsd-general mailing
list ("subscribe macbsd-general" in the body of a mail message to
majordomo@netbsd.org will get you on that list). If you hang out on
that list, you'll hear about test releases of the kernel that might
be closer to working on the Duo 270c (you have an FPU in that one,
right?) and such-like.
