Sorry to spoil all of your fun [if Jesus Madroy-bashing still counts
as fun], but I have yet to see a reply to the original poster's
question.

Yes, I am interested in this project, especially since I have recently
heard that there are Taiwanese Power-PC boards being designed to be
compatible with the PC clone form factor.  Ie they fit in the same
cases, use PC-compatible keyboards, etc.

Unfortunately, I don't have the means to participate in porting
NetBSD to the Power PC architecture.  But I am still interested in
hearing about any progress.


Good luck -- Volker
