As the owner of a Performa 640 (the 630 with a DOS card bastardized into
it), I have to admit that would be neat.  I can't imagine it being all
that likely to happen, though...  IIRC, the DOS card is looking for MS-DOS
6.22, and while it's somewhat willing to put up with Win95, it doesn't
want to consider NT, OS/2 or Linux (so I'm sick, and I like beating on my
computers).  I wouldn't be surprised if what would need to be written was
a special form of NetBSD-i386.  I can't imagine that there would be all
that much interest, so I doubt that it will ever happen...  Of course, I'd
be willing to settle for a way under NetBSD to still access the DOS card. 
It'd be rather neat to be able to switch back and forth between Unix and
its retarded cousin, DOS.  (As if I don't type ls often enough at DOS
prompts.)
	Okay, back to reality.
