If OpenFirmware recognizes them, they should work, so far as I know.

As long as we see a chip we support--and we support both the G3 and
the G4--hanging the OF device chain somewhere we can recognize it
and call it cpu0, everything works.

For what it's worth, I'm using an XLR8 G3 card in my 7500
motherboard. Don't recall which model exactly, and I'm in a
different state than the documentation (and the computer, for that
matter) right now. It's maybe a moot point, since XLR8 went out of
business not too long ago.

Basically, if the card will run MacOS, you're probably safe.

Should this be in the FAQ too, Michael? (As a reassurance kind of
thing?)
