That qualifies as a "one off", right? I mean, it's PowerPC, but not Mac.

I just posted a video of mine booting, because I happened to find on YouTube exactly two videos detailing "Windows NT on a PowerPC!"

Both of which are horrendous-quality (think cell-phone or webcam) videos of someone running Windows NT on a Mac, within VirtualPC (or similar.) So I decided to post my video of a PowerPC natively booting Windows NT.

And, yes, that's a PowerCD sitting next to it. The internal optical drive is dead, so I use the PowerCD. The ThinkPad has the HD50 SCSI connector, and my only HD50 cable goes from that to the wide-centronics, so I can't use either of my other portable CD-ROM drives, because one uses high-density SCSI itself (I don't have an HD-to-HD cable,) and the other uses a custom connector, with a custom cable that goes straight to Apple HDI-30 SCSI.

For my next act, I plan on installing OS/2 PowerPC Edition on it. I have a disc, but for some reason it won't boot, when from what I can find, it should be bootable. (Yes, I've verified that the disc is readable in the PowerCD drive.)
