Get a grip. It's highly unlikely that OS4.x is being ported to ARM. And if it were, none of the existing software would work. Not only would you still need M68K emulation but now you'd also need PPC emulation.

Try using Rosetta on a high end x86. Sure, it works but the performance is significantly less than a real G4/G5 is capable of.

ARM's primary focus is on high performance per watt for small devices, not making desktop processors.

Intel are breathing down their neck with their Atom CPU. The netbook processor "war" will doubtless soon be over (if it isn't already).

Before you eat an entire bottle of sleeping pills and grab a razor blade, yes is not inconceivable that this mystery project is an OS4 to ARM port. It just isn't likely.

If OS4 wwere to be ported to anything, it's far more likely to be ported to AMD64 than ARM.
