I should really update that. Sound doesn't work on any of the m68k Macs in NetBSD except for little "blips" (for lack of a better word - kind of like a really short beep). Ethernet, on the other hand, has worked for ages.

I guess it doesn't surprise me a page or two would be a little out of date. The NetBSD project is rather "family owned and operated", after all. Note I say that with complete fondness, not as a swipe. For the last couple weeks I've had my old Ultra 10 busily compiling packages for sparc64 just because, well, it can. It runs Firefox 3.5 built from source acceptably, which is impressive for a 1998-vintage machine using an "odd" CPU architecture.

Admittedly I have to admit that in my opinion it must take a bit of masochism to run a machine as slow as a 68k Mac. I turned to the 440Mhz Ultra 10 to renew my acquaintance with NetBSD after deciding the 170Mhz Turbosparc-equipped SparcStation 5 I rescued from a recycle bin (and thus set this off) was just too slow, and that's a racehorse compared to a 68k Mac.
