Someone posted in this mailing list that It's possible to get netscape
to work using compat_sunos function. And you need to get sunos4 to enable
sunos emulation function.
You can check its article on www.netsd.org official
site. Unfortunately I can't rememer who and when it was posted, but
I'm sure it was posted within this year.
NetBSD/mac68k is lacking in Web browser such as netscape communicator
or Internet Explorer and sound function such as play (music)CD or Real
Player or mp3. :-(
# Where can I get sunos4 cdrom from (license?) ?
