Subject: Support for Performa 636?

It's been a while since I followed this list, I was wondering what
the status is on support of the 63x Macs. My particular interest lies
in the Performa 636CD, funny, I have one of them... =) I know mine
isn't particularly well suited, since the CD-ROM is the only SCSI device
in my machine. But I was just wondering how the LC040 support, 63x ADB,
and 63x video was going? What kernels could I use (and where can I get
them) to see how far my machine goes? Also, what's required in terms of
colors and resolution (the Mac will only do 832x624 in 2 or 256 colors
with my 17" monitor)? Any support for the Apple CS Ethernet (AAUI) card?
Also, if the machine had the PowerPC upgrade in it, I realize it
wouldn't be able to run under the PPC, but would this affect it's
compatibility with NetBSD/Mac in 68k mode?
Thanks in advance.
