> Anyone using a Presto 040 under NetBSD? How well is it working for you,

Not. Also IIci. Have tried without drivers (no speed difference), and
with drivers (no NetBSD boot).

Searching for IIci and presto on this list will give you some exact report
of my findings.

I'm no kernel patcher. Only did userland programming, so no.

Test system was also running 1.5.2 at the time.
