I'm very glad to see NetBSD-1.6.2 is running excellently on my Duo
with NetDock or LCIII+ with small RAM.
Thank you so much for giving me a good chance to learn NetBSD.
I'm also really appreciate your:
"lc040-softfloat-20040307-1.6.2.tar.gz"

This is very useful !! (Do you need "lc040"?)
I'm sorry for my delay about supporting SCSI to Ethernet adapters.
Although formal release 1.6.2 has a problem with se* (same as 1.6.1),
it's not easy work for me (^^;
-------------------------
Question (to all) about the conf file:
Are these Compatibility options needed especially before NetBSD 1.4?
# Compatibility options
options COMPAT_10 # NetBSD 1.0,
options COMPAT_11 # NetBSD 1.1,
options COMPAT_12 # NetBSD 1.2,
options COMPAT_13 # NetBSD 1.3,
options COMPAT_14 # NetBSD 1.4,
options COMPAT_15 # NetBSD 1.5,
options COMPAT_16 # NetBSD 1.6,
options COMPAT_43 # and 4.3BSD
"OPTIONS(4) NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual"
http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?options+.mac68k+NetBSD-current
I'm wondering it because I made a kernel without Compatibility Options
under 1.4, it seems to work properly ...(not quite sure)
Thanks,
