I've had it running off my C610 (with full '040 CPU installed), no
console, keyboard, disks or ethernet.  Basically a standalone "proof
of concept" thing.  My current projects are: building the 1.1 release,
and support for built-in ethernet (SONIC-based).  Once the ethernet
works, I can mount /usr off the Mac II, and do builds a bit faster. ;-)

Faith is the quality that enables you to eat blackberry jam on a picnic
without looking to see whether the seeds move.

If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular
error.
