True, but the 040 support should be coming soon. Probably in a month
or two time line (though since I'm not fixing it, I can't really
say).

Yes, but if you take two computers with 5 MB, and swap a bank of 256KB for
for a bank of 1MB, you have a computer with 8MB. :-) That will work. I
have 9 MB in my IIsi at home. And you just don't worry about the
computer that ends up with 2 MB memory.

IIsi's seem fine. Though if you have an LC 040 machine, maybe just
get the II going w/ 8MB ram and a PMMU, then switch to the LC040 when
the fix goes in.

Any SCSI disk you add certainly can be moved to another computer later.
Plus, if you can aquire two of these things, put both drives in one.

Oh, you don't have to upgrade the floppy drive for NetBSD to work on
a II.

Also, if you do add 4 MB SIMMS, you can only add one bank worth, and it
must be bank B (and bank A needs 4 1 MB SIMMs in it).

Take care,
