Recently some interesting ideas up about a port of NetBSD versus MkLinux on
NuBus PowerMacs.

* MkLinux runs on NuBus & PCI PowerMacs.
* There are approx 2.5 million NuBus PowerMacs near or at end-of-life.
* All 'vintage' PowerMacs have high speed serial (230kbps).
* All 'vintage' PowerMacs are cheap.
* All 'vintage' PowerMacs have SCSI.

I know there is an experimental port of NetBSD to PCI PowerMacs, however
most PCI PowerMacs are not quite end-of-life for the desktop user.

I was just interested in knowing if there is any plans to port NetBSD to the
NuBus PowerMacs.
