Try this on a PC. http://qnx.tucows.com or
http://get.qnx.com Also see http://qnxstart.com
QNX 6.1 is free for non-commercial use. The latest
release also comes with stuff for PPC and other
processors but I don't know if all the stuff is
included that would allow a "roll your own" version
that would run on the same Macs as BeOS. (Very
unlikely that it would run on any that BeOS won't.)
Either have a fast connection or let a good download
manager suck on the big ISO CD image over a weekend. :)
