[MiNT] PowerPC a possibility?

 *** Thought you all might be interested in this! ***

     (so my question is, if we do get a PowerPC
      processor, will Mint run on it/take advantage
      of it? Or will it have to be updated...)

Eclipse should be ready very soon. The hardware has already been
prototyped and we are just finalising the fVDI support software.

It does look more likely that we will go the PPC route. Technically it's
entirely possible-the only problem is whether 68K emulation software will
be fast enough.

I have no objections, providing it's made clear that no firm decision has
been made as to whether we go for Motorola Coldfire or PowerPC at this
stage.
