    True. It's just that PPC is the only relevant architecture in terms of OpenFirmware based Mac OS as well as MorphOS.
    Btw, do you know why Mac graphics cards or Mac ROM reflashed PC graphics cards don't work on Pegasos or Efika 5200B?

    Yes, you're right of course. I was just restricting my addition to PPC because that's what's relevant in a MorphOS context (i.e. Pegasos I/II, Efika 5200B).
