Re: [B2-devel] Two dreams of mine

[C.W. B. <com...@ho...>]

The PowerPC Mac Emulator might be possible.  The main thing missing is  
the Memory Management Unit in SheepShaver.  You could try using PearPC  
to get it working, but there is no guarantee that it would work with  
that old of Mac OS X.

As for getting a NeXT emulator, that would require some more work.   
The chips are completely different and thus would require a lot of re- 
write.  My advice is ask the Qemu mailing list about this.  While  
their m68k emulator is different than Basilisk II's, Qemu is capable  
of implementing different computer architectures on the same processor  
base.
