The FAQ sez that none of the 68040 Macs are supported yet, but that the work 
is "in-progress".  Is that still the case or has "real-progress" been made on 
this front?  From what I could see in a brief perusal of the code, it seems 
that the SCSI driver is the big hole in Quadra support.  I have a 660AV and 
would dearly love to run Unix on it.  Any chance that Quadra's will become a 
reality anytime soon?
