Thanks for your suggestions concerning the hardware I need to run NetBSD 
on my Mac II. I hope I will be able to get the missing parts, or maybe 
even another hardware. Until then I won't bother you with more questions.
By the way, this is mailing list is very busy - is there a way to switch 
to daily digests rather than single messages, like on listserv?

take care,

 Mathias
