about="""
NetBSD/macppc is a port to Apple's PowerPC-based Macintosh computers
with Open Firmware.  For older (680x0-based) Macintosh computers, see
[[NetBSD/mac68k|mac68k]].  The first binary release for macppc was
[NetBSD 1.4](http://www.NetBSD.org/releases/formal-1.4/)  There is also
an experimental
[[NetBSD/bebox|bebox]] port for Be, Inc's PowerPC-based BeBox.

[Model support page](http://www.NetBSD.org/ports/macppc/models.html)
for more information.

The earliest PowerPC machines lack Open Firmware, and are not yet
supported in NetBSD. [mkLinux](http://www.mklinux.org/) is the only free
unix that supports them, although if you are interested in porting to
these models you should post to the <mailto:port-macppc@NetBSD.org>.
