Hi!
I just installed NetBSD on a Classic (ex Classic/X :-) which I would
like to have as a network resource machine. I would like to do the
following with the machine:
1. PPP to internet, this is up and running now (yes!)
2. Attach a parallel postcript printer. Is the parallel port OK? It
is listed as "not well tested", does anyone use it?
3. Attach a SCSI CD writer. I do not own one, and have not a clue
what makes it different from an ordinary disk? Do I need some
special software to produce an image or a special device or what?
4. Attach a film scanner (probably a Nikon) using SANE. I have used
a borrowed Nikon scanner on an ELC running Solaris and there were a
special SCSI-direct device needed. Is SCSI direct supported by
NetBSD/sparc?
