!SwiftJPEG.

I certainly had NetBSD running on an A7000 successfully some time ago. Did 
something get broken? I probably first used an A7000 for NetBSD around 
2002; it was a router/firewall with 2 network cards in - an EtherB in the 
NIC slot and an EtherIII as a podule.

Of course, a RiscPC would be better.
