Agad ... my old roommate has one of those ... I installed NetBSD on the
beast, and it worked great. I don't remember any nasty quirks, except
that you need to be careful when setting up your partitions ... I got
screwed when I accidentally disabled the ADOS boot partition ...
Anyhow, it worked fine. It's the machine I got the ASDG ethernet card
working on (with some help from chopps). Good luck!
