Should be with one of the current kernels.

Any basic mac video card--the toby frame buffer
or "Macintosh II High Resolution Video Card" seem
to work well.  Stay away from the "Macintosh Display
Card," though, as it has some problems when you
try to use it in conjunction with the ethernet.  And
it'll continue to do so until I can get the video
interrupts disabled.

Probably.  I haven't put it into a high utilization,
yet, but it seems to be working pretty well.  (A couple
of "receiver ring buffer overrun" warnings--roughly
once/day.)
