According to my notes (which are quite out-of-date now) the Quadra 605
has had it's ROM mapped and included in the MRG code. I don't know if
the 605 has all the mapping and Quadra internal video problems worked out
yet though. John's hardware direct code works on many Macs now, but I'm
not sure of the status of the Q605 which I suspect uses the Cuda chip.
The hardware direct code has some problems with *SOME* Cuda machines at
the moment though, and this could be a problem with the Q605.
