I think *if* anybody would invest money in doing a AmigaOS for PPC a real
adaption to the POP-Hardware surely would be the way to go, instead of using
UAE... still UAE might be a second-best way... but only second-best IMHO...

There had to be at least some sort of Emulation which transfers the memory
accesses to the correct addresses (which surely are not the same like on
Amiga). I am not sure if this would be less work than redoing the whole
low-level-stuff for doing a native support for the OS (which again would
depend on someone actually investing money into this... i guess UAE would be
something which could be done with much less effort... at least UAE without
PPC Support like currently existing UAE ...).
And i assume that with LinuxPPC for such a platform probably source code for a
lot of drivers would be available, right ?
