I'd bet so. I've been lurking w/ respect to the ppc stuff; I don't own
one yet. :-)

I think if we credited the authors, it should be doable. Though the FreeBSD
group might be a closer target since the kernels should be much more
compatable.

Check out the linux-ppc ftp site, ftp://liber.stanford.edu/pub/linuxppc/
They have lots of specs on binary file types.

We should use the fact that Apple is supporting them (w/ info) against
Apple. Apple should be able to tell us some about how the I/O works
as they're soon going to be out of the 68k business (timeline ~ a
year or so, IMHO). Hell, since A/UX is dead, let us have the source!

Uhm, we'd have to watch out for N.D.E.'s.
