43: The OpenBSD/macppc port started as OpenBSD/powerpc, and was initially
1.59 drahn 44: focused on Motorola computers with Open Firmware, and VI Power4e boards.
1.33 miod 45: This port was eventually thrown away after OpenBSD 2.5 was released.
46: As a result there was no OpenBSD/powerpc port for the 2.6 and 2.7 releases.
47: In the meantime, a new port was started, focusing on Apple hardware, and
48: based on code from NetBSD/macppc, and after a lot of work from Dale Rahn,
49: OpenBSD 2.8 was released with a powerpc port.
50: As work on the port continued, it was renamed to OpenBSD/macppc for 3.0.
1.161 kettenis 51: Support for the 64-bit G5 (running in 32-bit mode) was added in OpenBSD 3.9.

532: Modern MacPPC systems have two IDE interfaces (called Ultra and IDE), each of
