Hmm, what kernels are you running? the 600 and 700 are identical
except for clock speed and cache size (for that matter the 500 is also
the same, but slower clock and smaller cache yet again).  I run it on a
600 with no trouble, though admittedly the kernel i am running is sort of a
never-to-be-duplicated compile out of a nightly download of 1.5S or 
something.. if youw ant that kernel i can put it somewhere ftpable. i 
would imagien the later 1.5s and on will work fine with them.
