Fantastic!

Hmm...  Good question.  The ROM itself is actually mapping 16MB.  Why?
"Because that's plenty for any mac."  That could probably be dropped
back to 1MB since I think the only macs to use more than that are the
PowerMacs.

I'm afraid I can't answer this other than, "if they work, they're
verified."  Many of them can be checked with MacsBug, though.  At
least, ReadXPRam is a symbol that my MacsBug can find....

Neat.  They were forged with a battleaxe, too...  ;-)  If the Performa
630 is an 040-based machine, you'll want to pick up the 1.9 booter--at
least the called to flush the instruction caches.  I had a number of
bizarre problems while working on the Q700 until I found that bug...
