NetBSD _VER is the fourth "real" release of NetBSD for the mac68k.
For the mac68k port, NetBSD _VER brings a number of number of improvements,
including a host of new drivers 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.
