the pc is the main target simply because it is fairly cheap,
powerful, and readily available.
still, examples are included for other more specialised platforms in /sys/src/9:
mtx powerpc (PowerPC 604e)
alphapc Alpha
bitsy Compaq iPAQ H36xx, using Strongarm SA1110
3rd Edition included support for powerpc 8xx and an old mips motherboard (carrera)
as examples, and you could probably update those if you had a suitable target
and the energy.
Sparc kernel samples haven't been distributed for ages, but the contrib area
includes a 2nd edition port to Sparcstation 10/20 and LX/Classic (microsparc examples).
the distance between 2nd and 3rd/4th is greater than 3rd to 4th at this level
in the kernel, so converting them to 4th edition requires rather more work.
compiler suites are provided for the following:
1c 68000 Motorola MC68000
2c 68020 Motorola MC68020
5c arm ARM 7500
6c 960 Intel i960
7c alpha Digital Alpha APX
8c 386 Intel i386, i486, Pentium, etc.
9c 29000 AMD 29000 family
kc sparc Sun SPARC
qc power Power PC
vc mips big-endian MIPS 3000 family
there are a few others that aren't in the distribution,
but could probably be got if needed.

Hi,
On what machines could I work with plan9 ?
The "old" references always saying something about vax,mips,power, ...
The never documentation is just talking about PC's.
So, was the support for the rest of the planet canceled in favor of
PC's ?
Cheers & thanks
