 I have an 840, despite being it a fast machine, NetBSD is dogslow due to no
DMA support.
I have on the other side a Quadra 610 with a fast SCSI disk, and plenty of
ram: you have a fast system after all! using it on the console is perfect
(develop C programs, shell scripts, CGI...) and even remotely accessing X
leads to a machine which you can use to browse, compose webpages etc.
At the moment I have no color X on it.
