I have a DM250 that I bought a year ago that's been collecting dust because I couldn't get used to the UI/UX. It was imported straight from Japan so I'm pretty sure it's not the US model although I'll have to confirm that.
Customizing / tinkering with it has been difficult because it's a pretty niche product with not a ton of information online (at least on english websites).
Skimming this tutorial it seems like installing OpenBSD is a high-risk / high-reward type of thing. I'll have to look into further to see if it's worth it.
I'm running OpenBSD as a daily driver and one of its nicer point is not the security angle, but how simple and hackable it is, while still fairly capable in terms of hardware support. Linux may be more convenient, but its subsystems are too complex and not prone to quick modifications.
Well this is interesting ...

Congrats @jcs, I saw you battling the US version :)

Yep. While I've yet to run it on my production workstation, I absolutely love it for single purpose tasks.
Love the flying toaster screensaver, that was a pleasant surprise.
There is a rich collection of modern Macintosh Plus System 6.x work on jcs site :D
The afterdark screensaver is a real cherry on top.
