I for one would love to see this OS running on my trusty, upgraded G4 tower. It need only support an Ensoniq PCI sound card in my case. Forget Apple's audio. Then we just worry about the boards (nice, limited selection for Apple's New World PPC line-up) and a bunch of possible accessories that are probably already supported or going to be supported on the other platforms. Were I a developer, I'd certainly work on this project directly. As it is now, however, I'm just an end user. I can only vote to see this project live and bear fruit, and I hope someone can make it happen. At least I could test the software on my hardware. Also have an original (rev. B) iMac available, though I don't know if this OS will ever function with 96 MB of RAM.. Eric
