I've got a 68k-based Mac which is missing most of its case plastic, but the sticker on the bottom identifies it as an M9040, which based on what I've manged to find says it's a Centris/Quadra 660AV. Naturally, I'd like to run NetBSD on it. But I'm having issues even before I really get started. In particular, the mac68k pages make it look as though the only known way to boot them is to boot into MacOS and then run a Booter program. But this machine's keyboard is ADB and video is a DA-15. I doubt I have any of the latter and I'm not sure about the former. Is this a lost cause for me? Or is enough publicly known about the 660AV ROM boot procedures that all I need (heh) is to find enough documentation and I can boot it from the bare metal? /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
