Long answer:
Last I heard, there are at least 3 possible problems with
running on these models:
1. No ADB Support. The machines all use the Cuda ADB chip.
Neither MRG nor ADBTEST kernels support these models. (Can
you confirm this for MRG, Bob?) I am very actively working on
putting Cuda support in the ADBTEST kernels, but don't know
what the status is for MRG.
2. LC040 support. Several of these machine (maybe all?) come
default with a LC040, not a 040, and there are a few problems
with the FPU emulation. This is also being actively worked
on I believe.
3. SCSI (53c96) support. I think this is now working on some
kernels, but I don't know whether it's in the official kernel
source yet. (Scott or Allen?)
Short answer: Soon.
