PowerMac family boards (``g3beige``, ``mac99``)
==================================================================
Use the executable ``qemu-system-ppc`` to simulate a complete PowerMac
PowerPC system.
- ``g3beige`` Heathrow based PowerMAC
- ``mac99`` Mac99 based PowerMAC
Supported devices
-----------------
QEMU emulates the following PowerMac peripherals:
* UniNorth or Grackle PCI Bridge
* PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions
* 2 PMAC IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
* NE2000 PCI adapters
* Non Volatile RAM

Firmware
--------
Since version 0.9.1, QEMU uses OpenBIOS https://www.openbios.org/ for
the g3beige and mac99 PowerMac and the 40p machines. OpenBIOS is a free
(GPL v2) portable firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a
100% IEEE 1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware.
