The keyboard and mouse won't work on a IIfx (or Quadra 900 or 950) with
NetBSD 7.0, I have fixes for this in my local tree but it requires some
ADB drivers for other Mac models to be written before I can commit it.

I will see if I can add something suitable to go in NetBSD 7.1 in a couple
of weeks..
