[B2-devel] Use of hardware G4 processor on PCI-X bus.

[Terra B. <ter...@ho...>]

Hi,

This might be a little off topic, but i was wondering if it would be 
feasable to mount a G4 and a high speed xilinx FPGA (for address <-> pin / 
speed buffering) on a 16 wide PCI-X bus and have Sheepshaver write all G4 
processor intensive instruction code directly to that port and emulate video 
/ sound / peripheral devices in x86 memoryspace?

Most of the problems i see in sheepshaver are due to opcode translations and 
the way Macos likes to use the processor intimately (which if emulated would 
seriously effect speed). Its like apple and motorola were in a deep 
conspiracy to make sure they have the bleeding edge in the market.

Its just a thought, but i would like the communities feedback on that 
concept.

Thanks.
