I still am not sure if instruction set that the PowerPC will emulate for Macs will have any Mac specific code in it or will be a direct emulation of a 680×0. Do you know? It would be pretty darn nice too have one here in mi-Amiga! They'll probably be using them, to some extent (maybe just support precessors), in the ES/9000's also! Incredible! all these diverse architectures finally on the same path… And since it's RISC it doesn't run nearly as hot as the Pentium and it'll be alot cheaper! Robb
