>it's supposed to be trivial to do NT Mips and PowerPC versions, but I don't
know of SGI and Mac do some weird stuff to their hardware which would prevent
NT running. I'll second the porting to all NT supported architectures, though!<
The current PowerMacs wouldn't work since they are not PREP (Power PC Reference
Platform) compliant. The newer Macs will be able to run NT and OS/2 Warp for
PowerPC.
NT won't run on SGI machines for various underlying hardware reasons. I don't
think SGI would want their users to switch to MAX now that they own
Alias/Wavefront. That would be cutting their own throat. MAX is the big
squeeze.
