x100= 6100, 7100, 8100 (PowerMac models).  MESH is... I dunno if it's an
acronym or what (probably), but it's a cousin of the 53C94 (I think) 
that's used for the internal SCSI on most PCI PowerMacs, and a (slower,
but possibly overridable in software) version is used for external SCSI on
G3 machines.
