Basically, yeah.

'course I don't even know the base address for the IO space, but I'm
gathering it's the same as the PDMs, and I vaguely remember reading that
somewhere.  Right now, the question basically boils down to the display
going off (or black or something) when interrupts are enabled.  If we can
get past that, it should be mostly smooth sailing.  We'll have to have
base addresses for the IDE hardware, but I'd expect it to share that with
the NuBus PowerBooks....  Apple's addresses seem to be very similar
between the PDMs, the PERFORMA class, and the POWERBOOK class (NuBus).
