The pegasos2 is more like a MIPS machine or a PC with a PPC than a 
PowerMac at the hardware level even if it implements similar specs like 
PowerMacs so not sure how much knowledge about Macs would help here. 
Besides we had a disagreement with Mark about what level of perfectness is 
needed for new QEMU devices so he stayed away from these. That said if 
anyone has a comment feel free to share, it probably has missed 6.0 now 
anyway. But I'll try to do everything needed to squeeze it in if that's 
still possible.
