    I gather it will not work. Debian does not support the bus structure
    of the older PPCs. Apparently, the only one that will work is MkLInux,
    and I've seen mixed comments about whether that even works.

    If I had an actual Mac system software CDROM for my 1400C, I'd be
    trying it, but until then I'd rather keep the Powerbook intact.
