Hello all.. 

I recently picked up an LCII and monitor for a few bucks ($5 !! WooHoo!)

It has 8M of RAM, and a 40M HD. I'm planning on cracking it open and
upgrading the RAM to 10M, just because I have the sticks laying around.

I'd like to get this machine up and running as a remote terminal placed in
my bedroom, connected to my other machines via TCP/IP. This is ideal for
my purposes in this regard -- it is quiet and relatively small. This way
my girlfriend can't yell at me for an ungodly hum while she's sleeping,
and it doesn't take up much desk space. :)

I'd also like to put an FPU upgrade in the machine too, for obvious
reasons. 

I've looked at the FAQ's on what ethernet cards work, put I couldn't
find anything on whether the FPU slot on certain cards work.

Does anyone know (or suspect) of a NIC with an FPU slot that will work
under NetBSD? I say suspect because if push comes to shove, I have no
problems with staying with MacOS.. 

but I'm a UNIX guy and hey.. 68k hardware with BSD on it, man, I can't
ask for much more than that.. my two favorite platforms.
