There is a lot of custom hardware in the Macintoshes and a lot of hardware that changes between models. The current problem with the Quadra 700 that I'm working on is that the SCSI driver isn't written yet. Writing that is lower priority for me at the moment than fixing some of the problems on the working machines and working enough to pay rent. >Anyone knows if X is available for NetBSD on the Mac ? Yes. At least for monochrome mode on several display cards. -allen -- Allen Briggs - end killing - allen.briggs@bev.net ** MacBSD == NetBSD/mac68k **
