BTW, www.opensparc.net does ship an emulator that would be good enough. But for sun4v, rather than for ppc. It includes src code for OpenBoot, including a number of Suns proprietary modifications. Is capable of booting into the Solaris 10 sparcv9 kernel. Is under GPL. In theory it should be possible to port it to emulate certain PowerPC platforms. But that port would probably be way more expensive, than the actual Polaris port alltogether :-) So I dont currently see a solution. -- Martin
