Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the power-on memory check on
Quadra/Centris machines?  I souped up a Centris 650 to 64 megs, and it
takes... a while....  Just wondering.  :-)

Also, if there's anyone on the list who is familiar with IDE on the Quadra
630, from an interrupt standpoint, please drop me a line.  I'm working on
the Performa 6214 and family for MkLinux, and the hardware is very
similar.  As far as I can tell, if I trigger the interrupt handler
manually (e.g. by hitting a key), things work (i.e. polling the F108
register shows an IDE intr occurred), but the IDE hardware never actually
starts the interrupt handler on its own, which makes me think that there's
something about the interrupt levels on 68k that I just don't understand
yet.  Anybody?
