I'm embarassed to own I'm running macbsd with no problems, probably
on account of my antique original Mac II w/ PMU I bought in 1988
for A/UX. Before I found out about macbsd I ponied up the $250 for
an A/UX upgrade, only to find out the CD isn't ISO9660. I'm now
seeing whether or not its just UFS stamped on a CD, but this
requires a device driver for my SBPro Panasonic CD under BSD (which
has UFS, while Linux which has the DD doesn't have UFS) which I am
therefore writing through a Frankenstein operation on the Linux
SBPro device driver and the BSD Mitsumi one. I today read the
ISO primary descriptor off an ISO CD with my driver under BSD
so it shouldn't be long now. That accomplished,
I plan to turn to macbsd with a will. I'm interested in what Alice feels
outstanding priorities are at this juncture.
P.S., I'll start archiving the list (locally) if nobody else is.
Cheers, David
