Hi,
I don't have a powerbook, but I believe the Duo 320 is working. Try one
of the following URLs:
http://shimura-www.cs.titech.ac.jp/~daishi/macbsd/netbsd-e.html
http://numao-www.cs.titech.ac.jp/~daishi/macbsd/netbsd-e.html
You may have to be patient as Japanese university connections are usually
very slow.
