Are Power Macs supported? I was under the impression that it only worked with PPC processors in embedded devices whose hardware was supported, but I could be wrong.How are you planning to get drivers for ADB, MESH SCSI, MACE Ethernet, Mac video, and all the other things you'll need? I don't think QNX includes them. Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert

I have used neutrino on PeeCee, and it is cool, the photon interface is nice. QNX is nice period, you can modify the kernel in a thousand different ways to suit your needs. BTW, QNX will probally never go the way of the dinosaurs like Be Inc. did, QNX has the Niche in the embedded systems market
