I hear people say that NetBSD is nice on such a machine, but there doesn't
seem to be any support for the AV card under NetBSD.  Most people don't
seem to care about this, but that AV card has a fairly cool DSP chip on
it, and I for one would like to be able to hack it, and the only 3210
Assembler I've seen so far is for MacOS, although I know that there are
others out there someone since for one thing, the original BeBox used 3 of
these puppies.
