Well, the primary issue is going to be the lack of a PPC emulator at the moment. Microcode Solutions has had one "due any time now" for about three years. At the moment it's supposedly in final beta for a hardware-assisted emulation (PCI card with real G3/G4 on it, also compatible with Amiga). Once the software emulation is done, we'll see. I don't know how the Transmeta chips' speed compares to Intel or AMD, but my guess is a 933mhz chip would do at least a 200mhz PPC. That's just off the top of my head though, may be much better, may be worse. Could be interesting none the less though.Leafing through a recent PCMall catalog last night I ran across the Fujitsu LifeBook P2120 which looks like it's about our preferred size/weight--though definitely not our preferred price range. But could a PPC emulator work in that? How modern a System would work? Proc is a 933MHz Transmeta, RAM maxxes out at 384MB, ATI RAGE Mobility-M1 graphics, can hold a second battery or DVD/CD-RW in bay, built-in modem, 10/100 ethernet, wireless option, huge GB HD's...Bob F
