Hello all

Somewhere in the FAQs, the state of Classic Mac OS ist mentioned as  
"it is being worked on". Is this still true, is it possible to join  
the effort?

I'm not aware of anyone currently working on classic Mac OS support. PowerPC 
system emulation has been broken for a while--at least I haven't had any luck 
booting a recent Linux distribution with a 2.6 kernel--so even with the 
proper firmware support, getting classic Mac OS to boot might be difficult 
until it's fixed.

Please join.  As it is, it would be easier to try to get Mac OS 8.5 and 
higher running, mainly because they work with Macs that don't have the 
Mac OS Toolbox in their ROM (i.e. it would be easy to get it to emulate 
New World ROMs than Old World ROMs; the latter would be harder due to 
legal reasons).

And any help in the area of Classic Mac emulation, or PPC emulation in 
general, would be helpful.
