current status of computers

Hello,

I could try to make a table listing the status of the computers, with
comments and annotation.

A system that works but needs an installation from another machine would
be marked as working but with a note.
A system that has internal ethernet that does not work would be
partially working: I'd make RED, YELLOW and GREEN systems. Green means
'everything supplied' works, red means the system does not finish boot.
Yellow an intermediate stadium.

Then adding general notes like "sounds works on no computer as does
floppy" could complete the information along with a table of known
ethernet cards and other peripherals.


to the status on my computers... I have tried many openbsd version on my
MacIIsi, not much success. I hope that with a serial console I can try
to give more output. BUt I am very busy now.

I then decided to try my luck on a IIci. 3.4 doesn't work the same way,
but I got some success on 3.3!
Enough success to get a console login in multi-user!
But the problem is ethernet (this makes me also difficult to ship a
dmesg or so).
I have 4 NuBUS ethernet cards.
2 cards, when inserted, mak the kernel hang at boot with a repeating
message (scrolls fast and continuosu over the screen) about interrupt in
slot C. Both cards work on NetBSD and one card is a DP8390 Asante card,
really old and usually worked with every OS I tried.

I have then 2 other cards, a 10/100 card and a wonderful Apple NuBus
card with a 68000+SONIC chip (that is supported by no one) that "work".
They get more or less recognized at boot being  no MAC is recognized and
they no not work afterwards as etherent cards. But they don't "disturb"
the boot process (well, taking the cards out totally works too, but I
wanted to check what hapened with other cards so I dismounted every mac
that had an ethernet card I could get my hands on).

Cheers,
