darn, darn, i didn't realize that mac06 needed the '020. on those machines i'd prefer to run netbsd (i think anyway, i haven't played with it yet!). porting the uclinux to the mac might be something i'll have to work on. i've got some plus and classic boards i'd like to use for simple stuff, probably without a monitor-just a serial or ethernet connection. it seems likely the uclinux could be burnt into an (e)eprom fairly easily if properly ported so a diskless system could be made to work, probably to even work as a unix terminal with or without a drive. more projects for when i get the garage set up! (probably not till it gets warm as far as projects go!)
