Wait.  Let me get this straight: Your machine is an Apple Power Macintosh G3
desktop machine?  And you're saying "latest mesh driver from nandra" ...
this implies that there is now a working MESH SCSI driver that will work on a
G3 box?!?  I had not seen any mention of this by Tsubai in the port-macppc
archives, so reading this came as a bit of a shock!  :-)

(Tsubai, you might want to change your NetBSD/macppc Web page links?  Or maybe
 update the ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/arch/macppc/floppy/ directory to
 hold the newer boot.fs/boot.fs.gz from August 21st?)

Don't keep working MESH SCSI, MACE Ethernet or IDE drivers for Apple G3's a
secret, please!  :-)

Keep up the great work guys!

P.S. Off-topic, but since it concerns NetBSD and Macs ... anyone have any
     comments on the story at http://www.mactimes.com/features/jones9498.shtml
     and at http://www.sustworks.com/interests/mac_os_x_strategy.html ???
