The other place to look is in the Darwin source code. A friend of 
mine, just recently ex-Apple, prodded each of the G3 daughtercard 
manufacturers to loan him one of each of their models in order to 
make sure that MacOS X would work on them in the 
7500/8500/9500/8600/9600 (OF 1.0.5) series machines (despite Apple's 
more recent decision to only support MacOS X on G3 model computers 
that they built), and while the G3 cache intialization code for those 
daughtercards has probably been removed from MacOS X, it is my 
understanding that it is still in the Darwin source tree.
