After looking through the supported hardware list for NetBSD, it
looks like we may have a winner here. Only thing not mentioned is
3270 support, but I can deal with that issue later. Now, I think it
is time to begin Build-0000 of this beast (This is just going to be a
build purely for hardware testing, which will use DOS 6.22 and WfW
3.11.)
