There is something for the older macs. Please look in the ftp area on
cray-ymp.acm.stuorg.vt.edu for information and the currently available
stuffage.
As for the PowerPC, it's not even available to the public, yet. I, and
everyone else working on NetBSD/Mac68k (and pretty much for NetBSD/* as
far as I know), are doing it on our own time and don't have access to
more than the next John Doe on the street.
