Nice. I expected nothing else. :)

Similarly interesting is that the FPU emulation works. I have never seen
that before, although I knew it exists.

I doubt that NetBSD ran on many A600s before.

Yes, that should identify an A600 safely. You can make a patch if you

You would also have to adapt autoconf.c (new is_a600() function, removing
the comments in pccard detection) and machdep.c (print model name).
