Migrating to PowerPC for Robotics

Migrating to PowerPC for Robotics 02/01/2005 10:05 PM
IBM DeveloperWorks recently posted an article titled, "Migrating from x86 to PowerPC: Robots and networked applications". The article compares the PowerPC (or "Power Architecture" as IBM prefers to call it these days) to traditional Intel x86 and ARM processors. Migrating from one of these architectures to another is actually not too difficult if the software is based on Linux which runs well on all three platforms. Ultra-cheap methods of getting started with PowerPCs are mentioned, such as cannibalizing a Nintendo GameCube console or using a Kuro Box. The author, Lewin A. R. W. Edwards, has published a book with more information on the topic, called A Cookbook for Open-Source Robotics and Process Control.

PowerPC Emulator for Intel Machines

PowerPC Emulator for Intel Machines 05/17/2004 12:05 PM

OS X Makes Slow Debut on PC: Two guys in Germany have built a PowerPC emulator to run OS X on an Intel or AMD-based machine. While this is cool, it's not nearly ready for prime-time yet:

Biallas and Weyergraf warn PearPC is only a version 0.1 release and is still very experimental. By their admission, it is incomplete, unstable and painfully slow — running about 500 times slower than the host system.

It is "not meant for productive use," the pair caution on the site. "Don't use it on important data, it WILL destroy them sooner or later!"

My question is: is this is a travesty to Macphiles? Yes, you're on PC, but it is OS X. Is just having the Mac software enough, or is the Mac hardware an un-extricable part of the Mac experience?
