   I have read the entire Install Instruction for NetBSD-Amiga 1.2 in which 
   therre are lots of supported and unsupported devices mentioned. I am 
   currently using NetBSD 1.1 with tty and X11R6 configured for CV64 and 
   have a little bit of reluctance of upgrading because it will take long 
   time to reconfigure lots of stuffs. I am mostly concerning about whether 
   1.2 supports ADOS read

yes

   /write, 

no

[Note that you can now read/write MSDOS and Berkeley FFS 720k floppies
(and 1440 if you have an AMiga HD drive)]. 

   audio, 

no; however, there is a loadable kernel module available
(ftp.uni-regensburg.de) which allows audio

   better CD-ROM support ( every time I 
   mount CD, BSD complains bounce at xxxx something which I don't remember 
   exactly ), 

well, if you dont tell anybody what the _exact_ problem is, how do you
expect it to get fixed?

   and faster VM ( I've experienced slow VM while compiling large 
   complex C++ programs 


   and Linux/PC surely utilizes less VM than NetBSD 
   under same loading pressure ), 

Given that the average PC (assuming it is powerful enough to operate
Microsoft Windows (tm)) has a factor of 10 in CPU speed and a factor
of 4 in memory to the nearly-high-end Amiga, I'm not totally sure you
can really blame all of this to the NetBSD VM system. However, I must
admit that there are a few problems observed by some people (however,
not by me on 68060/50 with 32 MB and 68030/25 with 16 MB), and the
NetBSD developers are discussing at the moment how to improve it.

There might have been some improvements between -1.1's and -1.2's
kernel performance, which also help the VM system.

   Could someone give these information or point me where I can 
   get more?
