You need a cheap ($10-25) adapter, but yes.
I'm guessing A/UX is *totally* out of the
question, and that even NetBSD
or Linux wouldn't run either, but I might be wrong about the last two.
I'd probably go with NetBSD, even if I had to dump the Daystar
processor. I know it will run on the Q800, but I'm not sure about the
PPC upgrade. With 48MB of RAM, MacOS is going to be excruciating. A/UX
is fun, but not well suited to surfing in the modern world.
