Both the pb520 and pb540 have no FPU.

Not much has changed recently. The 2.2 should (in theory) function without
PMU (keyboard, mouse, power management) support, and 2.3 may or may not
function and may or may not have working PMU support, depending on the
model, phase of the moon, and the particular shade of that green fuzzy
stuff hiding at the back of your fridge. (I belive the correct combination
is 'pb190', 'waxing crescent', and 'light teal with above average fuzziness
and low goo factor', but I may be mistaken)
If someone wants to start donating powerbooks and/or quality kernel hacking
time, things will get supported a whole lot faster.
