For the mac68k port, NetBSD _VER brings a number of improvements,
including a host of new drivers and kernel changes enabling support for
many 68040-based Macintosh systems. In addition, many previously
unsupported 68030-based Macintoshes are now working. Support for SONIC
and MACE Ethernet controllers has been added (via the "sn" and "mc"
devices), and numerous enhancements to a number of existing drivers such
as the "ae" driver for DP8390-based Ethernet cards and "grf" video driver
have been made as well.

There is still a lot of work to be done and help is welcomed. Please jump
in!
NetBSD _VER on mac68k is, as usual, also fully backward compatible with
old NetBSD mac68k binaries, so you don't need to recompile all of your
local programs.
