These machines are much closer to the OpenFirmware Macs (since the CHRP firmware is built on top of a functioning OpenFirmware) than the PREP RS/6000 boxes. It might make sense to make these machines part of the macppc port, or to "fork" the macppc port into a "port-chrp" effort. Thanks, David -- David W.
