In a posting on some mac newsgroup I picked up a rumour that a
pre-release NetBSD may be running experimentally on a few 68LC040 Macs,
including the LC 475/Quadra 605.
A rampage of sundry BSD Web pages and a search of the user-survey
database turned up only (1) the suggestion that such ('040, FPU-less)
machines may well be supported some day and (2) a report that NetBSD is
running satisfactorily on an LC 475 after substantial hardware
modifications.
It seems a full release of version 1.2 may be immanent -- will this,
perhaps, run on an unmodified LC 475? Apologies if this is a FAQ whose
answer I managed to miss.
