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.
