That's correct, Michael and Matthew. I'm trying to enable the G3  
upgrade card in the L2 cache slot. The original (and soldered on)  
250MHz 603e works just fine. I realize that these cards are a major  
hack, and it may not be possible to get it to work, but it'd be nice to  
have the slightly faster machine if there's a way to do it.


dmesg (from custom kernel) is:

Any other info you need, or things you would like me to try, just let  
me know. I got the machine basically for free, and it's just another  
thing to play with.
