It should at least be possible to make one, though I don't know whether there
are any special difficulties to overcome, or whether anyone has tried making
one yet. Rumour dept.: something interesting may happen ..

No MacOS version all too soon, I fear. Unlike the Windoze, Linux, QNX, and BeOS
hosted versions, a platform isolation layer for MacOS isn't available from Tao
(because nobody in embedded things seems any bit interested in using MacOS as a
hosted development platform), so we would need to write it ourselves. If
there's any skilled and enthusiastic MacOS coder here, you may let us know your
name for when someone decides it's time to start that port.

Last state of things I heard was that H&P is working on a hosted version of the
SDK for WarpOS (effectively allowing Classic AmigaOS running non-native, side
by side with the SDK and then the AmigaOE, unless I'm confused there), for use
on PPC-equipped Classics..
How much effort a Linux hosted version for that platform would be, depends on
the state of available Linux distributions for that, and from there on, the
same as a Mac-based LinuxPPC port (as mentioned above).
