----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other:

Macintosh PowerBook 500 with PowerPC card
Quadra 800 with PowerPC card
Other Quadras with PowerPC card


Some of these machines may work.  Others not supported yet.

It is expected that a Quadra 630 w/ an upgrade card would work,
but this is untested.  Work is in progress currently to support
these machines.
