No, this is wrong.  NetBSD 1.2 and 1.2.1 will run on the Performa 550, as 
does 1.3ALPHA.  And I know I send that information to you when you were 
updating the pages back then Colin. ;-)

The P550 started working with a modified version 1.0 in serial only mode 
thanks to John Witkoswki, and was fully working with local console and 
ADB thanks to Walter Ruetten. There was a minor problem in 1.2 that 
caused X and DT to break, but we got that fixed before the official 1.2 
Release.
