 Actually Amiga NetBSD is being discussed in comp.unix.amiga as well as 
the old commercial, discontinued, AMIX.

 I suggested the other group not out of an attempt to edify the poster on 
where _not_ to post such questions, but as on the other group the 
question would be more likely to be answered quickly.

 As the question refers specifically to an Amiga hardware item, and its 
compatibility with NetBSD running on Amiga, it seems clear why the other 
group would be a more obvious choice.
