	Well, probably is, haven't actually tried. But since I have other
machines that I want to run NetBSD on, I figure I'll start learning more
with this, until I can get the others set up. That, and getting more current
programs, so I can use it as my main workstation...

	Yep. Someone had wiped the drive in the 3000/400 before I got it,
but I rescued a D/UX 3.2 box set, and threw that on it first, to make sure
everything is honky-dory.

	Okay, I didn't think so. Sounds simple enough anyway. Now to read
the dd man page...

	I have a PC64 mainboard, and a 200 MHz processor for it. Just need
to find an oscillator, and (someother part) for it. Oh, and the appropriate
power supply too... A project for later. :)
