'allo,
I have just gotten a Quadra 650 and I have a PowerMac 7100/66
already. I plan on using the Quadra 650 as a firewall Machine. At
the moment I need to get a internal cdrom and a second network card.
What I would like to know is if I need to have a MacOS partition on
any of my hardrives on the 650 and how much disk space will NetBSD
take up ? Does NetBSD/mac-68k have support for virtual consoles ? If
not I guess I can always use X11 though I would rather not have a X11
server running on my firewall machine.
Does anyone know where I could the get the following items:
internal cdrom (nothing fancy, a 2x will do fine for me)
a 2Gb internal hard drive
nubus ethernet card
external casings for hard drives ( I have two 400Mb drives
and a 2Gb drive that I would like to use)
I guess thats enough stuff for the time being.
thanks,
mehul
p.s. my 7100/66 currently is a MkLinux box.
p.p.s I sit possible to install NetBSD over the Net ? I have a cable
modem so it should nto be a problem)
