Somewhere I read that met@box wrote their own 68k emulation (so it ist the
3rd 68k emulation! - phase5,H&P, met@box - why didn't the work together?)
and that they have trouble with H&P because of licencing WarpUP. So if
there isn't an agreement between H&P and Met@box in near future than there
WILL be a third ppc kernel.
Met@box announced that the G3-Boards will be out in january. So we will see.
I can't understand that collaboration with H&P causes so much trouble. First
phase5, now Met@box ...

I don't read anything for a long time about Escena's ppc boards? Did they
still work on one? When will these boards for sale? What's about the ppc
kernel and the Escena Boards?
