How much more work would it be to finish it? I have 2 series 900
machines here: one with 6 33Mhz cpu's and one with 4 50Mhz cpu's.
Both have 768Mb of RAM. They currently run OS/MP 4.1C but I would
love to see NetBSD run on them...
...I anyone here in Stockholm/Sweden is interested I could probably
dig up another machine with about the same specs.
