I've done some playing with an old world mac (PPC5400 and 5500) the 
5500'S had the Sonnet Cache installed G3 upgrade. I ran YDL 3.01 on them 
OK, but could not get the G3 card to function in YDL. As I recall the 
best I could do was load the G3 card as a Mac extension, but the 
preempted loading YDL, which must be booted using BootX as Derrick 
suggested. Since noone is LIKELY to develop a driver/extension to run 
the G3 card in Linux, that's probably hopeless, but you should be able 
to get YDL 2.0 or 3.01 to run in a dual boot system with OS9 on one side 
and YDL on the other. I believe there's still an install guide for both 
versions available at the Terrasoft site. For YDL 2.3 try this link. 2.0 
or 3.01 will be similar.
