[M3devel] what platforms/architectures interest people?

[Randy Coleburn]

Jay:
The platforms I use most for Modula-3 are Windows (NT/2000/XP) and HP-UX.  I also may have occasion to use SPARC and Solaris.  Of course, the list will change over time.
Regards,
Randy

This is getting way ahead of things, but I was wondering what platforms/architectures interest folks?
 
 *_NETBSD  (maybe NBSD for short?) 
 *_OPENBSD (OBSD?) 
 *_FREEBSD (FBSD?) 
 MIPS_* 
 SH_* 
 ARM_* (there is some ARM stuff) 
 ALPHA_* 
 IA64_*  
 AMD64_* 
 *_WINCE (mainly ARM, but many possible -- x86, MIPS, PPC, SH) 
 X86_DJGPP ?? 
SPARC_LINUX ??
SPARC_*BSD ??
 
Personally I only have PPC, x86, and AMD64 hardware, all laptops, and the rest aren't available in laptops afaik (ok, WINCE devices are small). 
I'd be willing to try PPC_*BSD, X86_*BSD|SOLARIS, AMD64_LINUX|NT|SOLARIS.
Itanium 1 hardware is under $500 on eBay, Itanium 2 under $1000. Far from a laptop but slightly tempting in terms of aggressive porting. At least they run Windows. :)
 
Or is everything pretty dead by now but x86 and AMD64? (other than cell phones, hand helds, game consoles).
 
I was also think expanding the use of the integrated backend would be interesting.
