I agree... A P100/200 would be very easy to obtain and provide a very
stable platform. However, what was the goal here? A cheap/stable
commodity-platform NetBSD system, or an 'interesting' system? How
interesting is a Pentium 100 system when almost everyone has one in their
garage collecting dust?
I think the original author is after some of the more unique hardware
supported by NetBSD. Stuff that not everyone would have collecting dust in
the garage.
