Hey, the x87 emulator is there already! Aren't there PPC forks that would allow for this? You wouldn't get an x86 emu into Linus's kernel, but it shouldn't be too hard to get it into alternative kernel sources, would it? Using cheap x86-compatible PCI cards was one reason I decided to buy a Macintosh and to run Linux on it. Any help is appreciated! :-) Jeroen
