Hi,
I'm quite sure that the NetBSD system is year-2000-compatible, but is this
true for the hardware, too?
I know that there are older PC-s (386 and 486) with clock chips which are
entirely incompatible, and my IIsi is about as old. Is there some
information
from Apple about this, or are they just interested in selling new Macs?

Computers. You can't live with them, you can't live without them.
