If anyone has osX running on a non-mac x86 machine this should also probably be enough to test the endian related issues. I know there is doubt wether it is legal to run OsX on a non-mac machine, but I also now that several people have done it and that it is technically possible. You do need a machine which has at least SSE,SSE2 , it works much better if the machine also has SSE3. Since my machine has no SSE at all, I am not volunteering. (I still work on an early generation athlon which only has 3Dnow)
