I wish installing Minix 1.3 had been that easy... 8-)  (Or even my
first shot at NetBSD.)  Great work guys, too bad I don't have much
use for it now.  (Actually, if my un-backed-up hard drive EVER
crashes, that will help a GREAT deal.)

I expect there are more than 10 as well.  I never say much, unless I
have a stupid question, or I want to whine about not understanding the
inside of the kernel, and ask a stupid question about it... 8-)

I have seen at least 2 offered for sale recently though.  As for other
stuff, my personal dream (that will never happen) is to get a dual 88110
video board in one of the 532 slots as an X-term, running NetBSD or some
such system.  I guess I have one more month to get it designed, built,
tested, and ported, until the baby arrives. 8-)
