>From what I've heard (and believe me, I'm no expert on this stuff), the PowerPC supports giving each process it's own endianness. This should make it possible to implement a Mac simulator for Palm OS 5 that is little-endian. Byte-swapping would have to be done when moving data between the simulator process and any of the normal processes used by the OS, which would slow things down somewhat.
I have no idea if this is really practical, but even if it is, I can understand the bias towards the PC. After all, there are so many more of them out there. Emulating an ARM processor on a Mac is practical, but the performance you can expect will be so much slower than any real ARM based device that using it for debugging applications might not be very practical. It sure looks like a PC is in my (and your) future. -- Peter Epstein -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
