This page makes plain the 68LC040 problems:
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/curr_info.html
but it's talking about the 1.3.3 release.
Where a better place to look?... perhaps nothing significant
with Mac68K has been done since 1.3.3?
searching further:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.6.2/mac68k/INSTALL.html
"NetBSD has known but unresolved problems running on the
68LC040 processor, ... ...Software emulation of floating point
operations is not a problem on the 68020 and 68030 processors."
(the last note actually makes the older Macs look better)
Looks like chip replacement is the only option.
If somebody has a good source for 68K chips in the
quantity=5 range, I'd be interested.
