  Okay.  Well, then that's clearly more important to address  
first.  :-)

  What doesn't work well?  Does it work at all?  I'm not concerned  
about 64-bit support, as
I only have 3 GB of memory and would be using this as a storage server  
if not more than a compute server.  I saw something in mailing lists  
about the SATA controller not being supported?  Is that the/a core  
issue?

  Is there any work being done on getting this hardware [fully]  
supported in the macppc NetBSD port?
