Good point, Andreas.
I remember a member of the Apple community inquiring about Mark's work on the JIT compiler because they were interested in its potential use with TenFourFox.
So, it really is just focused on the need in the PPC community.

Btw, how well would a USB 3.0 card work on a PCI bus?
Aren't there limitations due to the bus bandwidth?

And are there Renesas based USB 3.0 PCI cards (or what ever the current name for that company is)?

Initially my thought was as an accessory for the X5000, but I'd still rather use a PCI-E card.
The complex bridge connection for zpCI slots on that board scares me a bit.

Then again, if my Chaintech VIA24HT based PCI sound card didn't work, PCI-E Tremor based cards are easy to obtain.

I'm just trying to figure out what would be the best system I could put together as a final PPC based MorphOS platform.
