Wow. Someone should have clarified that issue a *lot* sooner.
The FAQ specifically says that a IIvx port will be ready about two
months from April 19. Whenever anyone (including me) whines about when the
IIvx will be working, we generally get a near-apologetic answer and a
statement about progress on the ABD and (sometimes) video problems.
I won't bore you about how tiresome my IIvx has become, how I searched
in vain for Linux, MacMach, any sort of RealOS for this machine. I really
wanted MacBSD. I posted earlier that I was interested in working on both HFS
and X11. I still am. I'll do anything (short of shipping you my machine)
within my power to get MacBSD running on my machine.
