I'm using a A3000/CS060 with NetBSD 1.2 and a Picasso IV.
PicassoIV support for NetBSD1.2 has been added by the patch kit
from Bernd Ernesti <veego%NetBSD.ORG@localhost>:

joerg @ blechkasten> cat ./incoming/PicassoIV-MerlinZorroIII-source2.readme
Descr: 2nd Source for PicassoIV and Merlin (fixed ZorroIII) support
Uploader: Bernd Ernesti <veego%NetBSD.ORG@localhost>
Keywords: PicassoIV, Merlin, NetBSD 1.2

 - PicassoIV support
 - Merlin works now in ZorroIII mode
 - Fixes for Interlace and DoubleScan.
 - Memorysizedetction for 1MB Bords (Picasso2, Spectrum, ...)
 - Clockdoubling for PicassoIV and PiccoloSD64
   NOTE: Don't use the X11R6.1 Xserver with -useHWC on the SD64
         with a gfxmode >80Mhz or you get a broken mousepointer.
 - HiColor and TrueColor Support
   (doesn't work yet, since it needs some fixes for the XServer)

This source is for NetBSD 1.2.

Changes for the second PicassoIV and Merlin source:
 - The PicassoIV color problem is fixed (missing include file).

The file are named are PicassoIV-MerlinZorroIII-source2.readme
and PicassoIV-MerlinZorroIII-source2.tgz. Either in 'incoming' or
in 'experimental' on the NetBSD-Amiga mirrors.
