Won't work. No FPU, emulation broken.
Unless you want to recompile the whole system.
At least that's what they told me.
And I couldn't get mine to boot the kernel 2.6.18 or any before that.
And those who did get it to work previously (by rebuilding with the special
emulation ) did I read have problems with it going into a coma...
The macs I do have running it are quadra630 and quadra605 (same as performa475).
You need some memory too. To make the installer go OK suggest 32MB minimum.
