Good question - the UltraBook II is supposed to be more or less Ultra10-com=
patible, but I have no idea if anyone ever tried.
I've got a SPARCbook 3GX, just added accelerated wscons stuff, accelerated =
XFree86 ( still only 8bit but I'm working on it... ), PCMCIA almost works (=
 I found all my cards are unsupported by NetBSD ).

So, to hazard a guess - NetBSD should /basically/ work, but it won't suppor=
t any of the fancier hardware, no power management, no idea about the IDE c=
hip.

have fun
Michael
