Well, unfortunally am I a complete iliterate when it comes to C programming 
(Just starting to learn
Objective-C - for GNUstep apps) - so, I am not to any use execept for testing 
:-)
One of my x86 boxes used to run BeOS 5 PRO, but atm my girlfriend is using 
Windows on it.
The other x86 is a Thinkpad 600, capable to run BeOS (And of course OpenBeOS) - 
but I cannot get 
the pcmcia card to work with BeOS ("straight to KDL"). If I can solve the 
networking problem on the 
laptop I could help testing the bootloader for x86?!

Anyway, keep us updated about the PPC port.
