Yeah, I was kinda bummed about that....  I can't even do any major  
kernel hacking much less work on adding 88k support to GCC3.  That's  
way out of my league.  They really are neat machines though.  I just  
have one of the tiny shoebox Motorola 8120's though I'd like to find  
a dual-cpu 88110 based box to play with.

  I'd like to get a QBUS-based vax as well, the only vax machine I  
have is a VS3100.  I'd be willing to trade a nice dual processor Sun  
Ultra 2 with lots of goodies for any QBUS vax in working condition  
actually especially if it's got a support disk controller under NetBSD.

Anyway, I'm starting to get off-topic so I'll shut up now :-)
