I can't make any promises (especially since I'm insanely busy right
now), but I *might* be able to have an (effective) Performa 63x
(with an LC040) up for testing in reasonably short order. (This
involves digging a 63x motherboard out of storage and stuffing it in
a 6500. Don't ask.)

Well, that's probably going to be a quicker response than I would.
If another datapoint is needed, somebody drop me a line.

No clue on that. (Hadn't even heard of Ignatios's work.)
