There are two different PPC Macintosh architectures from Apple: the initial systems were NuBus-based, while later models adopted the PCI bus. Associated with that change was a general adoption of the “PC” architecture, eg. switching from SCSI discs to IDE.
There are open source operating systems for both architectures available should you need example code.
