I found the Japanese article you linked there before. His second method looked interesting. It seems that the ROM header contains the list of compatible machines. Normally it just contains MacRISC, but the 9.8.1 ROM lists MacRISC, PowerMac4,2 and PowerBook4,3 (which would explain the extra supported machines). I guess he's saying that editing it to MacRISC3 would add support to similar machines.
