Hello,
I've just seen on the NetBSD port page that a port to these machines is =
underway.
I personnaly own an RC3330 8MB RAM, 630MB HD and mono FrameBuffer.
And I can test some things.
I'm at this moment seqrching for memory modules. 8MB is ridiculousely =
TOO short, but enought to try some boots.
BTW, do you know if it is possible to boot this machine from a CDROM?
I have an Apple CD300 2x SCSI CDROM drive.
I also have an athlon with a CD recorder. So I wonder if I can create a =
boot CDROM instead of a boot tape.
(My tapes are becomming old, and If I do some test, I'd like to ensure =
that in a case of OS destruct, I can reinstall one).
(there are no data except the OS on this machine)
Many thanks for your answer
PS: This machine is very important to my eyes, because it is on this =
type of machine that I have learned unix and C/Motif programming (even =
if today, my programming knowledge is almost lost(I am sysadmin))
