OK, I've got set for tonights meeting:

A PowerMac 8500 (Debian 3.0) with external 4x SCSI burner.  The PowerMac does 
NOT currently run X so I will not be able to demo xcdroast or ide-scsi.  If 
someone wants to bring a box with X and a burner, preferably ATAPI/IDE, that 
would be great.  However I can demonstrate creating an iso and burning a cd 
from the command line.

Software wise I have two copies of the NetBSD 1.6.1 PowerMac CD, and the MacOS 
8 boot floppy & SystemDisk downloads from the NetBSD web page.  I've printed 
off the install.ps file from the CD, which explain how to manipulate the OF 
from version 1.0x (1995) all the way up to 3.0 (2002).  Should be no problem 
installing on any PowerMac/PowerMac clone you bring in as long as it isn't 
running a 601, and it uses open firmware.

I also have the Debian 3.0 PowerPC CD 1 & 2 if you would prefer Linux or bring 
in a machine NetBSD doesn't support.

The library will be there, as well as assorted i386 software (Mandrake 9.0, 
Debian 3.0, OpenBSD 3.2).

Cheers,

James
