Well, I've seen a slight incompatibility with cg6s.  However, it wasn't
an "it doesn't work" incompatibility, which I why I didn't consider it
"anything of the sort".

Specifically, one (or maybe two?) of my cg6s, in certain of my
machines, don't get entirely initialized by the boot PROMs:
RASTERCONSOLE scrolling didn't work until I ran something that knews
cg6s enough to do a reinit of the hardware.  (In my case, this was
usually the X server.)

The cg6 in question was probably the oldest of the ones I have; I'm
sure it was one of the two-slot ones.  I don't recall whether the
problem existed in all of my machines or just some.
