It only works on CyberstormPPC cards. Dunno how good it actually is. From what I remember it wasn't to stable and had issues with some MacOS versions (Can't handle OS X).

On my CyberStormPPC it wasn't faster then my 68K Fusion on 68060. Screen refresh was also slow.
You can use PPC Mac software, that is the big advantage...

Steer well clear my friend, it just isn't worth it. I bought it for my Blizzard PPC system and they never ever got it to work. As far as I know it does work on Cyberstorm systems but there is no support for either serial port or parallel port. So you can run a fair few programs but cannot print from them and worse still cannot get on the internet (with dial up anyways) with it..... so whats the point?

I managed to sell mine for £50 (cut my losses) but a lot of people were left with a CD that was more useful as a beer mat :-(

It does exist and isn't a full featured emulation.  OSX doesn't work.  I believe OS9 did though.  Screens were way slow.  Stick to Fusion if you need a Mac Emulator.  

If you need something a bit faster you'd be better off buying a used iMac or PowerMac off of Ebay then expecting much out of FusionPPC.  

FusionPPC is nice to play with, too bad it's not better.

It does work within it's limitations. I just downloaded Marathon and Marathon2 demos and could play them 640x480; Duke3D PPC works also. But mostly it's just an expensive toy. Yes, it works with MAC OS 8.6 to 9.1. - 9.04 is said to be the best speedwise.
