Basically.  The problem is not the ncrscsi driver, but the ncrscsi96
driver which is not written, yet.  Most '040 machines (with the apparent
exception of the PowerBooks) use the NCR53C96 chip for SCSI whereas the
earlier macs use the NCR5380.

You're also missing the ADB support (obviously).  Since the Cuda is
supported by OSF/MK, now, John might be looking at getting Cuda support
into his kernels...  If the Cuda in the {6,7,8}100 PowerMacs is the same
as the one in the 68k boxes...
