Is this to test endianness? Mac’s have not been big endian (PowerPC) since 2006.

If this is to test endianness and Hal can’t get his online, I have an old Mac Mini with a big endian PowerPC G4, that I could put online for use in the test farm.  My internet service is “business class” and pretty reliable.  I’m glad to load whatever OS is desired - just let me know.

Thanks,
Frank
