Hello again,

Thank you for your responses. I've decided to attempt the macppc/nubus
system because I have access to one. Like I said, I won't be starting
for about a month (I'm about to get married and go on a 3-week
honeymoon).  However, I was planning on taking some reading material
with me, does anyone have any suggestions?  I was thinking about the
"Porting BSD UNIX to a New Platform".

Thanks again,
Pete
