Dear Ulrich,
I think the board exchange path w/ IIci is with a Quadra 700, so
I'm surprised the clock speed is not 50 Mhz. As for using the PDS
slot, currently, I actually have a custom kernel that boots NetBSD
('040 @ 90 Mhz), but unfortunately something within the SCSI driver
disagrees with the accelerator, so reads work, but writes do not.
It's as close as I have gotten. There have been fixes to SCSI drivers,
so I'm waiting for the next release of the source to try again.
