Nope. Any 68000 (I mean, not 68020, 68030, or 68040) Macintosh will never run NetBSD. Your option is to get SE/30 logic boards (just like I did), but it's probably an expensive option, and you may be better off spending the money to get IIci, IIvx or something faster and more expandable. ken -- Ken Nakata | An unofficial MacBSD anon-ftp maintainer at a NetBSD UN*X-weenie | ftp://remus.rutgers.edu/pub/NetBSD.
