Yokemate of Keyboards

I am still all for the x64 switch as long taerm goal. But as a stop gap I would welcome power9 support (i.e. Raptor blackbird) in the meantime. Would bring us one up to date hardware at a still rather reasonable price tag.
But x64 is the key for future hardware supply (well designed laptops, powerful desktops).
And a Power9 machine would make a nice development system for a 64 bit little endian MorphOS. To me the backbird seem like a good step between the generations (from current 32 bit big endian PPC to future 64 bit little endian/endianess indipendant x64/multi ISA system).
