Hm... This isn't completely new, but it's something that might be of
manageable size, and it's something a lot of people want. It also fits
your criteria of being reasonably inexpensive.

How about getting NetBSD to run on older NuBus-based PowerMacs? You'd
get the benefit of having PowerPC machines already supported, but you'd
have the challenge of supporting a whole bus type.

There are a lot of these machines out there, so if you got NetBSD to
support them, there'd be a very large number of people using your code.
(I'd go out and get a 6100 or something like it if it were supported.)
