The LC II has a '030, and a 16 bit data bus (yuck!) However, it will not
work with NetBSD. It crashes (if I remember correctly -- it's been a
while) after..hm can't remeber -- it was before it finished boot strapping,
though. Kelly Campbell <camk@homer.spub.ksu.edu> discussed the issue a
while ago (early January-ish) and said it appeared to be an ADB problem
(big surprise :-) ) Anyway, Kelly indicated that s/he was going to work on
it. I don't know if anything is still happening.
