Oh, then I apologise for the remark about support!

 The 80 is too small to do anything serious with anyway.

Yes, that is correct.

Not yet - I think someone is working on it.

I volunteer my NetBSD 1.4 system on a IIvx with 68MB RAM, 670 MB root&usr
disk, 140 MB swap as a beta site. (For that matter, I would be happy to do
some programming work, especially on a Mac MPW version). And I have LOTS of
6809, 6800, 6801, and 6805 code to hammer on it with - some of the 6809
code is even set up to use a larger-than-68K memory image.

I have never set up a package before, but I need to learn how anyway!
