Hello everyone,

	It's been a while since I last ran bsd/mac68k, so please bear with
my questions... I have a Quadra 700 that I'd like to run BSD on, but in
order for me to consider it usable, I have to have decent graphics - at
least 1024x768, 8-bit color, preferably 16-bit. I saw on the apple site
that one can upgrade the VRAM in a 700 to 2MB, but it apparently only
supports 640x480,832x640, and 1152x780 - and will only do 8-bit at 1152.
Here's my questions - will netbsd currently support internal video @8-bit
color? cause if so, i would be happy to run at 1152 - otherwise, do I need
to get a card, and where can I even get a nubus graphics card for a decent
(100 or less...) price?

thanks so much!

cheers,

Adrian
