I've tried to buy Power3 or Power4 based machines off Ebay but the prices
have always been higher than I want to spend on a hobbyist machine.  It'd
be nice to do powerpc64 support.  I think the prep support is getting
better.  But we still don't anything on the OpenFirmware based machines.
And getting one of those is difficult or expensive.
