| PowerPC System emulator |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Use the executable ``qemu-system-ppc`` to simulate a complete 40P (PREP) |
| or PowerMac PowerPC system. |
| |
| 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 |
| |
| - VIA-CUDA with ADB keyboard and mouse. |

| |
| - 2 IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support |
| |
| - Floppy disk |
| |
| - PCnet network adapters |
| |
| - Serial port |
| |
| - PREP Non Volatile RAM |
| |
| - PC compatible keyboard and mouse. |
| |
| 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. |
