I have two Quadra 650, one with 24, the other with 72 MB, both with 1GB
disk. I used to use them as X-Terminals, and just to play around with,
but with just the 640x480 14" monitors they're not that much fun
for that.

NetBSD 1.6 had some trouble with the network card, but I haven't figured
that out yet. (Still 1.5.2 installed.)
