I disagree.

While the main focus of OpenBSD/mac68k is on fast 68030 and 68040
machines, there has been a lot of work over the last 12-18 months to
bring the mac68k port back in a very good shape.

However, PowerBooks and systems with IDE disks are not being worked on,
mainly because of a lack of hardware rather than because of a lack of
interest (anyone got a spare PowerBook 550c ?). This does not mean they
don't work to a decent level.

As for ``old iron'' used on a mac... this sounds like an oxymoron to
me (-:
