Hi,
I've been recently talking to some contacts and heard of a very FOSS-friendly place where we might be able to get some PPC hardware for Art to test his PPC port on. They are Pegasos PPC, and they supply complete systems on a varity of CPU architectures. There's full Open Firmware support so it's pretty much like developing on an Apple. I've tried to contact Apple (and others amongst us have tried as well) but we haven't had much luck. Pegasos has a reputation for being much friendlier (and also much cheaper, if you want to buy one), so I suggest we give them a try and send them an e-mail about our project and how much we'd love their help (and I'm sure it's a good idea to suggest we'd put up their name on our website under a "Thank You" [by the way, we also have to thank a bunch of other companies that have donated equipment or software, afaik]).
Here's their site: http://www.pegasosppc.com/
I can contact them myself, but I was thinking maybe it's better if Steven/Art/Jason (all three) handle it, since they are official Board Members plus Art is the one who will be using it.
Best regards, Alex Ionescu
I have a PowerMac G3 as well as 4 iMac's and I would love to be a ROSPPC tester. My PowerMac is a test unit. I am using MacOS X 10.0.3 and Gentoo LinuxPPC on it. I might even be able to donate a iMac G3 CRT for the cause..
Let me know.
