We knew it from day 1, otherwise it would have been difficult to achieve something reasonably speedy at the time. I was thinking of just using some regularly available cpu emulation code and comping it in ppc, and see if it could be of benefit. Something like winuae did for ppc to x86, but the other way round this time.
Yes, the ppc kernel war did not help and the crowd founded iF project (an early bird at the time) did not mature enough. Still, I think that was a wonderful time for computing.
