    If you know where to find necessary informations about macintosh
    firmware, you're very lucky !!! I NEVER heard about any documentation
    on the subject !!

    Apple provide an uniform system that mask differrent hardwares. They
    don't like low level hackers... :-(

    So, you can try to make a Mac + minix OR a mac SE minix OR a
    mac II minix OR ....  good luck :-)
