==Machines==
===IBM RS/6000 7020 (40p)===
[[File:40p.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Workstation from ~1994. QEMU emulates the following peripherals for this machine:
*PCI bridge
*PCI VGA compatible card with VESA Bochs Extensions
*2 IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
*Floppy disk
*PCnet network adapters
*Serial port
*PREP Non Volatile RAM
*PC compatible keyboard and mouse.
To start a very simple emulation that'll boot into OpenBIOS:
<pre>qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -boot c</pre>
