If I'm remembering the right card (that's the UW that comes with that
machine, right?), LinuxPPC should support it, at least with current
kernels and the latest BootX. MkLinux definitely will not, as the MacOS
driver for these cards doesn't correctly shut off DMA at unmount, so it
spews random data all over our kernel. Without the booter source, we're
pretty much stuck on that one until one of us has time to write a BootX
front-end to Mach. Maybe over the summer. :-)

Unknown. If there's an Intel Linux driver, it should be possible to tweak
that and make it work (fixing any endianness issues, etc.). I don't know
_anything_ about that piece of hardware, though, so I can't say more than
that. :-)
