Is there a version of VMWare that emulates PPC hardware now? Maybe you were thinking of AROS instead?

VMWare is, AFAIK, a virtualization system only. If you want to be able to run PPC guest operating systems on x86/64, you need a proper emulator such as quemu or pearpc. Even then, I suspect you probably won't get very far.

No, because you must think that VMWARE only work and emulates X86 machines not PPC or 68k CPUs and machines.

You forgot to recompile OS4 for intel rather than PPC.  Do that and it should work....

Im most suddenly not thinking of AROS... Tried that and is a nice project, but quite useless.

Just wanted to try os4.1 out. Didnt get it to work though.

Have Ubuntu and plenty other os's on vmware - love to play with other os's ...

Think Windows 7 soon will leave my laptop for Ubuntu 10.10

As I said, you'd need to use qemu or pearpc to stand even a remote chance. VMWare isn't going to help you run a PPC guest OS on x86/64 host hardware at all.

quite absurd question but they do arise when people fail to understand what how a virtualization environment works.

I don`t think you stand much of a chance!!

Kolla poses a perfectly valid question. There aren't any places you can buy it that give you the slightest impression it will work on x86 machines ;)
