BeOS for Power Mac

Is there anything I can do to encourage Be to port BeOS for Power Mac to my machine? I have a 6100/7100/8100 and I'd really like to be able to run it...

No. We're well aware of the number of 6100/7100/8100 owners out there and the fact that many of these owners are "early adopters", but we had to draw our line somewhere. The technical issues are just too involved to support BeOS for Power Mac on those machines. Thanks for your understanding on this issue.

Why doesn't the BeOS support other machines?

Seriously -- why can't you support NuBus machines?
