Darwin, MacOS 9 and X, are the only options. Also conceivable to run FreeBSD under VirtualPC. There have been rumors of Apple building a VirtualPC-like feature into the OS, or fulling integrating VirtualPC similar to the -box stuff Apple uses to do classic PPC and 68k Mac stuff under MacOS X. Wait, they may be dropping the 68k support in X. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
