The point of many non-OF powermacs is that while they *seem* to be quite
close to a NUBUS mac, they differentiate enough to make it a difficult
task. I once tried to comprehend a Performa 5200 (603, Quadra 630 based),
but failed miserably because of Apple not wanting to share information about
their glue logic.

Having run MacOS X for a brief period on my Beige G3/233, I can say that
it wouldn't be workable anyway.
