The FAQ mentions that the IIsi is not yet supported (officially).  My
question is, what isn't supported?  Where are the hardships with this machine?

I realize that the internal video is a problem, but with a NuBus adapter
board and a video card plugged in doesn't that remove that problem?

I also assume that MacBSD will requiring a math co-processor, correct?

In case you haven't figured it out, I own a IIsi (9 MB RAM, NuBus adapter
card with math co-processor, Apple NuBus video card).  I am very interested
in trying to get MacBSD to run on it (although I will probably have to
purchase yet another hard drive, thank goodness for 7 devices on SCSI :) but
I don't want to try the install unless there is a fair chance of it
working...  I assume that the IIci and IIsi are fairly closely related
machines and if one works then the other should also... True?

Any info would be appreciated...
