 I proposed on GSoC 2010 to cleanup and finish the WIP that was done on 0.9.0 
 for emulation Acorn Archimedes platform.
 It was going to be mentored by Paul Brook but no one took the project, so 
 the proposal is still up.
 I cannot mentor it as I know nothing about ARM.

 Oh, interesting list there...
 
 I see someone wants BeBox support.
 I already started on this but it doesn't do much yet.
Loading Be's firmware or with a custom one?

 There are also several other 68k machines that could be fun to support once 
 the m68k branch is in shape in addition to NeXT, like Atari ST/Falcon and 
 Amiga, and there are existing emulators for those to look at.
Well, there are thousands of 68k machines, however the ones nobody emulates are 
of more interest. (Unless your Atari ST and Amiga emulation pretends to support 
things no other does, like Amiga UNIX, Apple UNIX)

 And I need 68k emulators to finish my Haiku port :-)
Interesting

I wrote a loader for their boot nub.
It currently starts by probing the PCI bridge and that's about it.

The boot nub can be extracted from the floppy images from there:

with this script:

I shall post a patch someday.

Indeed, and I'd love to get Haiku to boot on a NeXT :-)

Well, most of those emulators do not support the required mmu, except ARAnyM 
(and their mmu patch was backported to UAE I think).

A/UX would be fun to run :-)
There used to be UNIX for Atari TT also IIRC, though not sure it was ever 
published.
