how old is oldworld?

I have a PMac 8200 which has been sitting for years unused. It was my 
development box for MkLinux, but I think it is perhaps to say goodbye to 
it, attempts reviving this interesting kernel failed, also by myself, 
since hacking in kernel code to support ext2 failed :( a pity.

It is really old.. first PCI series and so has proper OpenFirmware (v1 
if memory serves, those that default to serial console) but has PPC 601 
CPU. A strange mix of Apple harware and a PPC cpu which is still POWER 
compliant... old times!

Is that CPU still supported in the kernel or is it dead? I remember that 
some OS remove it, but I don't remember which.
