Technical discussion about early PPC hardware emulation

[adespoton]

I figured I'd start a separate thread in here where we can dump/discuss early PPC emulation for QEMU.

(Un)surprisingly, the MESS project has already collected a fair bit of documentation.

http://www.mess.org/mess/driver_info/ma ... ical_notes contains some of it.

The Chip table could be rather useful, and the page has an ID table and an Old-world ROM table of hashes by system.

Of course, I'm not sure if anyone has, for example documentation on the SWIM III controller, but we can probably get around that.

Might as well add the source that goes with that:
