[Qemu-devel] Re: Inquiry, speed comparison on OS X, QEMU vs Virual PC

[Natalia Portillo]

But this is for using the processor in Little-Endian mode, 
that MacOS X don't use nor support (and I don't even remember 
if this was suppressed from the lastest PowerPC -that is, 
before 601- as was a feature designed for POWER not PowerPC), 
not about the endian swapping functions present in 750 and 
74xx (G3 and G4)
