Hoax PowerPC emulator

Hello
I hope this project is NOT ANOTHER HOAX.
(other HOAX: Ardi PowerPC emulator)

Perhaps this can be used to emulate "PowerPC hardware" for running "Linux for PowerPC" on top of X86 machine. This will enable Linux software developers to port their applications to PowerPC + Articia platforms, without buying the hardware.

Perhaps you can build emulator for VESA  /SNAP based VGA cards (or use VGA card on X86).  Another difficult problem is emulating Articia + VIA chipset.

Another idea is a joint project with Total Impact or other PowerPC G3 Co-processor vendors to enable PC running AmigaOS 4. Perhaps you can emulate modern PowerPC G3 or G4 on top of old PowerPC 601 (old Amiga accelerator cards).
