The only stupid question is the one that is never asked. :-)

You will need an FPU. Ken Nakata is working on an FPU emulator.

Yeah. See above.

The hacked version should run anything the original will, and vise versa. I
just hacked a lab of sixteen of them, and the hack seems reliable. I heard
Apple actually sold 33Mhz versions of the LC III at the end of it's
production! :-)

It is probably slightly dangerous.. Voids your warantee.

In case anyone is interested, more information on Mac hardware hacks is
available from <http://bambam.cchem.berkeley.edu/~schrier/mhz.html>.

>4.  Is it possible to use color on the LC III running NetBSD?

Dunno...

I don't see why not.

>6.  If I can use NetBSD, where and what do I have to download?

Anyone?

:-) Ever met any serious 'net user with perfect English?

Note: Keep in mind that the above info might be a bit off... I just watch
the list for fun, and don't actually use NetBSD yet.

Have fun!
