| 31 | Since version 0.9.1, QEMU uses OpenBIOS https://www.openbios.org/ for |
| 32 | the g3beige and mac99 PowerMac and the 40p machines. OpenBIOS is a free |
| 33 | (GPL v2) portable firmware implementation. The goal is to implement a |
| 34 | 100% IEEE 1275-1994 (referred to as Open Firmware) compliant firmware. |
