Could smp support be added to the beigeg3 and mac99 targets?


I think the machines these are emulating had no SMP so it would not make much sense. Maybe you'd need to create a new target emulating a Mac model with multiple CPUs instead or update mac99 to a newer model that had SMP?

Do you also have a link to the specs or hardware programming manuals?

I don't have them on hand, but I am sure looking at the Linux and Mac OS X kernel source code  could be the next best thing. I think Apple did was everybody else does, have each processor see and share the entire memory of the computer.
