If somebody wants to work on it, it's basically like a Performa 630
(mac68k) with a PowerPC card, a Valkyrie for video, and a fairly
transparent bus bridge.  I feel like there's a couple of other
differences, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

MkLinux is _working on_ support, but the architecture is pretty different
from all the other PowerMacs....
