Not that anyone's announced.  I'm cooperating with the Linux folks,
and specifically one Matt Slot, to try to compile information for
a PowerMac port of some free Unix-like system.  See

	http://puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us/

for that information.  I have also been in contact with some folks
who are quietly working on Linux for the 1st generation PowerMacs.

Well, this is probably as good a time as any...

I like the look of the new PCI machines, and am getting an 8500 to play
with soon.  I doubt it will be possible for me to keep doing active
development on both ports, and it wouldn't be fair for me or for you
for me to try.  So I currently don't plan to be active with mac68k
development AFTER THE NEXT RELEASE (1.1).

Until someone steps in to be port-master, I will continue to review and
apply patches and try to keep the port up with the rest of the system.
I will be less active on the mailing list, too.

It will be up to you, the user community, to implement new features and
to keep improving the system.  There are a lot of things to be done, but
there seems to also be a growing number of people actually taking an
active interest in the system and contributing code.  I am confident
that someone else will eventually step in and fill my shoes as port-
master, and that you will make NetBSD/mac68k into a much better system
than it now is.

PS. For the curious, I plan to concentrate on the 8500--probably also
    supporting the 7500 and 9500 (both the 601 and 604, in each).  I don't
    plan to, personally, work on support for any other PowerMacs.  I will,
    of course, be more than happy to see others working on it.

PPS. I still plan to get the Quadra SCSI system going before too long...
