X11R6 will run on some systems in 1-bit (mono) mode. If dt will work,
so will X. A clue is if the grf0 line during boot reports the correct
dimensions for your display.

FreeBSD, as far as I know will not work on Macs at all. NetBSD seems
to work on some accelerators and not others. I don't know if the accel.
will allow you to run NetBSD on the LC, though, as I don't know how all
the LC differs from the systems that do work. Even so, you will have to
disable the Daystar's cache to run BSD--at least for now.

BTW, I didn't realize that Daystar came out with a 500MHz model... Must
be fast... ;-)
