I don't have a page or anything, but coming from a Mac background, I can tell you that Apple has played with having an x86 port. It's referred to as the "red box". When Apple was working on OS X to begin with they had 3 "boxes". Bear in mind that I tend to get the colors backwards, but the 3 colors are yellow, blue and red. Yellow (I think) was the Mac OS 9 compatibility system. Blue was the real OS X and red was OS X on x86. I never heard any more about it after OS X was released, but it stemmed from the days of Next. Supposedly, Next could be compiled to run on a number of systems. OS X is based on Next. Also, you can still get the Darwin code, I think. and that can be compiled on x86. How much of OS X it actually gives you I can't say. Tom Williams
