I also have a Color Classic running NetBSD using the same Apple 
Ethernet PDS card as yours.  The difference is that I have replaced the 
motherboard with one from an LC 550, which would technically make it a 
Color Classic II.  This enables it to have 36 MB of RAM with its 33MHz 
processor, a much more capable machine than the original CC.

1.6 runs fine on it and I am about to try 2.1 as soon as I can figure 
out how to connect my other old machine, a Powerbook 180, to my 
network.  Apparently, there is still no driver for its Asante Mini 
ENSC.  What other options do I have for this 'book?
