 These were the first Macintoshes to feature a PowerPC CPU, starting with the PPC601, and going up to the 603.  There were attempts at making them Prep/Chrp compliant however they never did run any 'standard' prep/chrp OS's.

		+	[[Cockatrice III]] is an attempt to stabilize Basilisk II by turning to a much older version, and rebasing everything off of the generic drivers. I've been more focused on networking by adding [[libpcap]] and [[SLiRP]] support. While not as feature rich, it does networking tasks much more stabler than the newer versions of Basilisk II.
