Just wrote something really stupid, it'll run on x86, the development kit is a PIV. And we still don't know 90% of the real deal (motherboard, in/out, CPU, etc etc). A side note on rosetta, the emulator of PPC code to run on x86 (from Apple developer documentation): QUOTE Rosetta is designed to translate currently shipping applications that run on a PowerPC with a G3 processor and that are built for Mac OS X. Rosetta does not run the following:
- Applications built for Mac OS 8 or 9
- Code written specifically for AltiVec
- Code that inserts preferences in the System Preferences pane
- Applications that require a G4 or G5 processor
- Applications that depend on one or more kernel extensions
- Kernel extensions
- Bundled Java applications or Java applications with JNI libraries that can’t be translated So recent apps will need either the universal code or the x86 only to run. ESPECIALLY OURS. I may don't care what's the CPU inside (as long as there's not a ugly sticker written intel inside that s…s) but as a customer, I'd like not to have to buy the software again and again and again. Also, Logic users must be laughing a lot…
