I am currently attempting to get the ADBTEST kernels working on the models
that use the Mac II type of ADB interface. This includes II, IIx, IIcx, IIci,
SE/30, Centris/Quadra 610/650, and a few others.

Once I have that complete, if the ADB is still a problem with the 
accelerated Macs then I can look into it further. My current code tries to
take into account the speed of the machine, and I plan on doing the same 
with the II-based code, so hopefully the problem will be taken care of
without much change.

Although I can't promise exact dates because of how busy I am at my
job, I can say that the II series code is still at least 2 weeks away. I'll 
announce on the list when it is ready, and you can always find the 
current status of my ADBTEST kernels at:
