I think I remember seeing something in the 650 docs about it being supported.
Any machine with IC's descended from the original Quadras should have it.
So that probably means just about any desktop 040 execpt the 630 and AV style
machines.
If that's true, it's probably worth figuring out and implementing. Quadra
machines are almost as plentiful as the II's.
