Hello,

I have a potential application for a Quadra 700 that has been quietly
sitting on my bookshelf for some years. Since it has two RS-422 ports,
10baseT and is potentially capable of running NetBSD, I'm thinking of
using it as a terminal server of sorts: providing telnet access to a
couple of pieces of equipment that have serial consoles.  I won't need
X and "cu" comes standard with NetBSD. Is 20 Mbytes enough RAM to boot
NetBSD/mac68k?  Is 500 Mbytes a sensible disk space minimum? How large
a disk drive can the Quadra 700 use?

Thanks,
