Re: [Qemu-devel] Mac OS X at native speed...

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Not exactly...

As many Apple fans can tell you, apple just love to stick their own
ROM in there machines (I think it's called open firmware these days).
Since your own PC doesn't have this ROM (and I imagine they'll add
couple of tricks more to the package) - you won't be able even to
install OS X on an avrage PC you buy on the market, unless it came
from Apple.

Compiling QEMU under OS-X/Pentium machine, that could be another story
with more more success...

Thanks,
Hetz
