Penguin 18 seems to work fine on my Quadra 950 and my IIfx. I had to
use Penguin 17 on my IIci with the DayStar Turbo '040. Penguin 18 gets
something wrong with upgrade processors that Penguin 17 had right. I'm
going to look at it after I have completed creating an working 2.2.16
kernel for the m68k archs.
