Hi Gerardo and all,

Bruce and I know you have PowerBook 150 :)
I think he is going to support IDE drive with his new 1.6.2 kernels for
FPU-less '030s including instkernel.
(What networking device are you using for PowerBook 150?)

Yes. We are talking about supporting all of FPU-less '030s in one kernel.
Covering all devices makes the kernel size a little bit bigger. We know
making a small kernel is also important. That is our dilemma ;)

For example, Asante Fast 10/100 NuBus NIC requires sm* and mii.
Within all FPU-less '030s, only Macintosh IIvi and Performa 600
have NuBus slot. I guess a few people is using Asante Fast on IIvi.

My idea is covering all devices including such as NetDock or Asante Fast,
and reducing the kernel size with commenting-out unnecessary options.
My conf file for a FPU-less '030 Macintosh is:

To all: I'd like to know your idea.
To Bruce: Would you mind introducing us your config file?

Thanks in advance,
