This is why I said that my categories could use some work ;-)
Anyway, for the final machine status document I was going to have a chart
sort of like:
Model: CPU: IntVid?: ADB?: SCSI?: Enet?: FPU?: Comments:
----- --- ------- ---- ----- ----- ---- --------
Or something like that (I haven't quite finished fleshing it out yet.
Probably need a to list which kernel works best as well.

Ok, something like this. Perhaps I'll have to add a few to my list.

Yeah, I was going to add that. I suppose I should have made it a little
more clear that the list I posted was just a brief summary of what I
could find as of last night.
Anyway, I should have a preliminary version of the new page up for
perusal soon.
Thanks for the info on the 650!
Later.
