It actually emulates several different types of PPCs: lakeview ok % qemu-system-ppc -M '?' Supported machines are: mpc8544ds mpc8544ds bamboo bamboo ref405ep ref405ep taihu taihu mac99 Mac99 based PowerMAC g3beige Heathrow based PowerMAC (default) prep PowerPC PREP platform As far as actual firmware, I believe it's Open Firmware, either through openbios-ppc or openhackware. A long time ago, I tried to install Mac OS X 10.1 but was unsuccessful. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187

AIX only runs on PPC (unless you're running AIX v1 or v2) but Debian certainly runs on Intel. It might be simpler to build a new VM based on Debian for Intel - it would certainly perform a lot better than emulating a PPC. Now, if you were asking about emulating PPC so you could run AIX under VMware, you might start by looking here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/pa-emulation.html?ca=dgr-lnxw07EmulatePow Miles Fidelman -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
