Maybe. The main stumbling block would be how to figure out if the NuBus
cards are there or not, and in which slot. Allen & Scott, can we do
NuBus scans at console attach time?

(The problem is that the console is one of the first things which gets
set up. It happens well before a lot of other things get set up, like
our access to NuBus cards.)

Other than that (and the difficulty of specifying when to use a NuBus
card), it should work, once we can use the cards in general.

Take care,

Bill
