Seems a lot of people are running NetBSD on the z50. Now that I have it 
running I can see why. The only problem I have is that the xi driver is 
not supported. 

I've got a slick Xircom RealPort pcmcia adapter that looks so nice 
with the pcmcia door removed. No fragile dongle issues here. These cards 
fit the astetic so well. Is anyone working supporting this driver? 

Also a couple questions about CF storage. I went out and got a 128 cf card 
while I was still planning on running liunx. Is there a way to fit an X 
server on that disk or should I just get a 340mb Microdrive? If so, which 
install sets could I use a bare minimum? 

Also where does one find tarballs of bsd stuff? is there an equivelent to 
sourceforge's collection for bsd? 

Finally what speeds do flash disks peak at? Mostly curiosity here, but I 
can ftp at about 400k from a switched machine and was wondering what was 
limiting the speed? CPU, ne driver or cf disk?
