It should be possible to port qemu to *STEP and add the needed syscall translations, I suppose. > 2- a full-blown NeXT hardware emulator. This would help porting other OSes too... I'd really like to add NeXT to the possible targets of my m68k Haiku port... Though I admit it's only just for fun :) AFAIK the m68k support in QEMU is not finished, and is mostly coldfire only. Another option is to start from an existing 68k emulator. There is UAE, ARAnyM... ARAnyM is based on UAE cpu code, but has 040 mmu support (it has now been backported to UAE as a patch). > The second dream that I have is: I am interested in a PPC Mac > emulator > that is capable of running OS X Server v1.2 (AKA Rhapsody).
