Hi Bill,

Thanks, at least that gives me somewhere to start....

Yes, I have (had) a program that would let me set up any SCSI drive on the
Mac....however it's on the internal Quantum 80Mb drive inside my Classic II
which has given up the ghost (drive is OK, just that the on board ROM has gone
bad and I don't have a copy of it so that I can burn another).

I was toying with the idea of putting a 1Gb drive in there for NetBSD.


  >> Finally will X run on this system?

  >An X server (the screen)? Not unless someone fixes the video driver....

Ah well.... ;-)
