Right now, 10.0 BETA on my spare T420 Laptop. I have 7.02 on an old AMD333 system and trying to get 9.3 on it. It is hard going because there what I believe a motherboard issue with the CDROM Drive. And SDF :)

I hope to use it on my main system, a W541 Thinkpad. It works, but the Nvidia GPU (it as duel GPU) heats up a lot. I am not sure how to even diagnose this, but as the BETA persists I will keep checking to see if the issue stops. The W541 does not allow one to disable Nvidia :(

Well, the AMD333 (PII) now has NetBSD 9.3. It is working very well and works rather will and zippy considering its age.

I discovered the CDROM Drive was causing issues. I replaced it with one from a junk IBM PC a relative was tossing out. All good :)
