I have an old RS/6000-250 MCA machine that I can throw in for testing.
Or is the target of this porting effort only the _64_ bit POWER machines?

Similar to me. I will get a B50 (7046-B50, "only" 375MHz PPC604e) for
400,-EUR tomorrow. This machine seams to fit better to port-prep
(see my questions about ppc ports confusion...), but maybe there are
some MI things that can be shared.
