[openbeos] Re: Haiku on G3/G4

Well, I am willing to donate an ancient iMac RevA (G3-233MHz) for Axel, but
I'm afraid that shipping a 20Kg box from Australia would probably cost more
than getting something equivalant from ebay in Germany :-(

Perhaps those of us interested in PPC can chip in 
some money towards a cheap Mac for Axel?

(or some other willing and able kernel dev?)

Like.. A slow G3 Blue&White.

So he doesn't get caught up in MacOS X. ;)

Pros: 
- has OpenFirmware
- easy to open/change parts
- cheap
- for keyboard, there's both USB and ADB to choose from
 (easier to get ADB off the ground than a full USB stack?)
- netboot
- upgradable

Cons:
- slow

CPU upgrade:

(the Dollar is low)

I've got one of these, minus the CPU upgrade, but I'm hesitent to 
parting with it. :]
