On all 68LC040 Macs you just need to exchange it with
an 68040 to get the MathCo. Just check the frequency.
But using a 636 for NetBSD isn't a good idea - any
486-PC will give the same or better performance - but
while using Mac OS 8 the 63x are just fine machines.

P.S.: don't forget the memory update - the 63x Macs
can use 36 or 52 MB of Mem, depending on the mobo
revision. If you have 1 SIMM slot, add a 32MB module,
if there are two slots, use a 16 MB modul in the outhermost
and a 32 in the innermost slot.
