[Qemu-devel] A dream of mine: the ability to run m68k NeXT applications

[Eagle]

Greetings, all.

I have a dream.  Well, several actually, but two that are applicable  
here.

The first is: I am interested in having the ability to run m68k NeXT  
applications.  There are potentially several ways to do this, but two  
come to mind:
1- a CPU-only emulator that runs on i386 NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP, similar to  
what Apple used during the transition from m68k to PPC.
2- a full-blown NeXT hardware emulator.

I am interested in this because I have some m68k-only NeXT  
applications that I want to be able to run.

The second option is obviously very difficult, what with hardware  
difficult to come by, and probably most of it undocumented.  The first  
option, however, might be easier to implement.  Is there a way to do  
this with QEMU?

The second dream that I have is: I am interested in a PPC Mac emulator  
that is capable of running OS X Server v1.2 (AKA Rhapsody).  I am  
interested in this because I no longer have a PPC Mac that is capable  
of running OS X Server.

Is there any chance that either one of these is doable with QEMU?

Thanks.

Daniel
