Well, obviously some people out there are running NetBSD on the
Casio MPC-206 laptop, since I've seen at least one bugfix come in for
it. Anybody want to give me a summary of difficulties with the machine,
and an opinion on whether it's worth buying.

At 990 g, it looks like pretty much the lightest option out there for
a NetBSD machine with anywhere near this level of capability. I was
looking at the hpcmips machines, too; but they're not much lighter, and,
given how much less you get with them, not much cheaper either.

In particular, I'd like to know:

    o Have you used it with Air-H" or a similar PHS mobile data service?
    o Does X function well?
    o Does a USB keyboard work ok?
    o How about suspend mode?
