Only that the current version does not build... at least last time I tried
(couple of months ago).

ZIP, yikes, not sure if I have some of those somewhere. If you need the
regular 32MB PS2 SIMMs (the only way to get 128 on an Amiga), I ordered them
(and the mem for a couple of the debian/m68k machines) at 18004memory.com.
Very good prices and no problems with the mem. Try pricewatch.com for more
dealers. I just ordered SODIMMs at memoryx.com, they have good prices, but I
haven't received them yet. I do have a bunch of 8MB PS2 FPM(?) modules from
the Quadra upgrade, if they could help you (and I'll be in germany in two
weeks).

Yup, Blizzard2060@50MHz

No, sorry, I do not reboot unless a poweroutage lasts longer than my UPS can
handle. This is a buildd. Maybe next year, when the machine is back in
germany.
