Can't do that)-: The board connects to the system through a PDS adaptor,
which connects to the system via the 68020 and PMMU socket, so any
chips that were in there before were pulled. The card was in the computer
when I bought it, so I don't have the old chips. I've heared that this card
does work with netbsd, but maybe not with the macII?
I think I'll wait for support for the LC475/quadra 605.
I heared that the 475 can be booted via a serial console. To do this, would I
just plug in another computer running a terminal emulator to my 475's
serial port, and then tell the booter to 'boot serial console'? I've never
tried a serial console boot so i'm not quite sure how its done.
