Hello,

recently I came across a Motorola PowerStack II Pro and couldn't resist. 
Now I have a few questions:
- netbsd.org doesn't list these machines as supported - are they truly 
unsupported or just untried ? Hereby I volunteer for testing.
- hardware documentation seems to be rather rare - installed memory is 
buffered 3.3v EDO DIMM with ECC - does the board really need this ? Will 
unbuffered / non-ECC modules work ? ( think Apple PowerMac 4400 )
- the machine seems to be somewhat RS/6000-like - which model comes closest 
? What are the differences ?

have fun
Michael
