Depending on the type of Mac you have, and the type of nubus card, you may
be able to benefit from my SLOTMAN kernel.  The Mac IIci, Qudra 700, and
Quadra/Centris 610, 650, and 800 are fully supported;  others may work, or
at most require just one or two addresses from the Mac's ROM to make them
work.
