I currently have several jobs leaving me with bugger all time
to contribute to NetBSD.. so I wondered if I could help someone
who does have time, but needs a piece of hardware (Not a RiscPC
I'm afraid - I wouldn't be able to bear to part with it :)
Anyway... if someone in the kernel team, or anyone else in fact
is short a network card, scsi card or whatever they would like
to write a driver for, let me know & I'll see what I can do!
Just another thought - how difficult would it be to write a
program to run under NetBSD which would 'mimic' the !PCx86
application and give a PC running in a virtual console or
even X window? Presumably they would need tech info from
Aleph One... Or would it be simpler to write one 'from scratch'
(but again you would need hardware info from Aleph One - which
might be easier to get?)
Anyway - if anyone wants to try anything like that & would like
a free RiscPC '486 card to work with... I have one here :)
