PowerBook Duo Support?

This weekend, I have been pulling out my NetBSD/mac68k
machines and  
upgrading them in more ways than one. I started thinking
about mac68k  
laptops and the PowerBook Duos came to mind. I did some
searching  
around and it appears that there is some support. Is anyone
actually  
successfully running NetBSD/mac68k on a PowerBook Duo? If
so, what  
models work? Thank you.

I've had my Duo 280c boot to an XDM prompt once, and that
was before the
softfloat builds came into existence. So I suppose the basic
hardware
support is in place. Just pick up a softfloat build for
68LC040 equipped
Duos and go from there.

There is no DuoDock support, though. You need to install on
the internal disk.

Thanks for the info. I might just acquire one and try it.
