Re: Getting started on a LC630
Another issue with the 630 is support for the IDE hard drive. Since nearly all other 68k machines have SCSI support was lacking some places / times in the past. IIRC with netbsd 5 I could use the IDE drive but I needed to put the basic system root partition on a SCSI. I am not sure about this but be prepared
I have too many external SCSI drives may be able to let one go but only ship to US unless maybe through Ebay.
