Intel and PPC in same box...
Has been done, by Apple, once before - anyone remember the DOS-Compatible PowerMacs from 1994-1996? You could get 6100s and 7200s with NuBus and/or PCI cards that had 80486s on 'em. They had their own built-in video (there was a funky cable to connect your single display to both the Mac's and the PC's video) but could share your RAM, HD, keyboard and mouse. You had to boot MacOS (System 7.5 at the time), but once you did, you could toggle the PC on-a-card on and switch to it with a keystroke - cmd-= (equals) if my memory doesn't fail me.

I still have Quadra 650 with 80486 card in it. I remamber how great thta stuff was. Press key and it switches to windows, press again and it goes to mac. I hope we will get something like that in software for macintels in future either from apple or third party developer. hope virtualisation or whatever will bring it. |
