Hm. Either that, or someone needs to have interest in this. How large
is the base of existing machines with powerpcspe? If it’s not much,
unlike say m68k with a real load of existing old hardware, maybe.
In which case you’d probably best contact Aurélien so d-p.org can save

Don’t we all? In the end, if’s still a learning experience and fun.
