I think netbsd-forsale (which I'm not sure of the host machine for,
actually; I think it isn't netbsd.org) would have been the right place.
In this case you're probably unlikely to have angered anyone....

You know enough to send to port-sparc, that's more than most :-)

"si: peek failed"? That sounds as though they don't actually have SCSI
controllers in them. But you said (in what I snipped, above) that they
do; why do you believe they do? (Or was the sc an option for the
-4/260? I suppose this is more a question for port-sparc than you.)

I must admit I'm tempted anyway. Do you happen to know what shipping
to Montreal would cost?
