Firmware
--------

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