Hello Chris,
CW> ...I'm now the proud owner of an Apple Mac LC.
It's a nice enough machine (well done for rescuing it), but
because it doesn't have a paged memory management unit (MMU,
think I've got that right ;-) I don't think it will run
NetBSD without some sort of processor upgrade. A replacement
system unit may be more practical. I'd probably look for an
LC-III, since they benefit from a 32-bit data bus.

X may be possible on a 12" monitor, but I doubt it would be
comfortable. I've found that a lot of X programs expect a
larger screen.

I've wondered about that myself ;-)
