Hi,

I don't think the floppy has been solved.  I seem to remember that
some docs were released that would explain how the hardware worked,
but, no one actually did the work.

Color X works fine on NetBSD 2 beta, if you use the color X server
from 1.6.

Get the 1.6.x X tar files, get the Color X server from

 ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/contrib/Xmac68kColor/

Set the booter to not be B&W and boot.  It should work.


cheers

bruce
