Well, the code I'm working on doesn't deal with the NuBus. Are you using a
current kernel? The video card/ethernet card interrupt problems were supposedly
solved. I had a SuperMac Thunder and a MacConi Ethernet card in my IIvx and
they co-habitated quite nicely (The SuperMac has since left to be replaced
by an National Instruments NB-PRL that I hope to get working some day)

Try shuffling the cards around and try a newer kernel. If that doesn't solve
the problem then post *where* the kernel hangs. That information generally
tends to be more helpful.

Not really. The driver I'm writing is direct to hardware so all you'll have to
do is boot with a monitor on the motherboard's monitor port. This is important
since the driver checks for the monitor's type and presence at startup.

Sure. The drivers don't conflict with each other as far as I know. Hopefully
colorkit will support more cards in the future and you can go nuts with two
monitors :)
