[openbeos] Re: AW: Re: Asus Eee-PC

There's work as in function, and then there's work as in be usable... I'm quite sure an LC III will be an order of magnitude slower than a 75 MHz Pentium, and there's really no way that it will ever be a usable computer for Haiku with a full GUI - it maxes out at 36MB RAM! - but IMO one of the main advantages of open source software is that it lets silly people do silly things! (how's that PPC port coming, though?! :))

LC-III has a 25Mhz CPU, will Haiku work on that?

Not yet, still a lot to do.
user land stuff should mostly build though, only missing some math
stuff in libroot to have it linked (any volonteer ? :p)
I plan on testing in ARAnyM, the only known m68k emulator that emulates 
an mmu (all others use UAE which doesn't support that).
Then I'll try to get it to boot on my Mac LC III.
