Well, I did <grin>...but yeah, as there's no readily available virtualizer
for PowerPC Macs, I don't really have an answer for you here, other than to
partition your drive and do a native boot setup as I posted how to do
earlier. If you want a virtual machine, Microsoft Virtual PC 7 might work if
you can find it.

The WD My Book World Edition NAS comes in a single-drive or dual-drive
configuration, and has been extensively hacked. The current Dual-Drive
edition gives you the option for drive mirroring; and even the single-drive
one lets you copy stuff to an attached USB drive (the My Book has a USB
port). I don't know whether the built-in copy manager copies everything, but
I'm sure there are hacks to do a full clone if it doesn't.
