    No problem, I wrote Promax Tech support out of my own interest and he
responded:

    From that, I gather that yes it can be booted from OpenFirmware;
possibly B&W G3's or G4's only, but I doubt that if the fcode was written
correctly. I asked him what chip the card was based on but he didn't answer.
In all likely hood, it is fully supported by NetBSD. If not, well with the
proper documentation in the right hands and free time, "Support should not
be too hard to add."

    Hope that helps.
