			* '''Power Macintosh 7200''' (1995 - driver names ''pmac7200'' for 75 MHz, ''pmac7200_90'' for 90 MHz, ''pmac7200_100'' for 100 MHz, and ''pmac7200_120'' for 120 MHz, added in MAME 0.290)
			::- Lower-midrange PCI machines based on the "Catalyst" architecture. Available with a PowerPC 601 CPU at 4 clock speeds (75, 90, 100, and 120 MHz). The 7200 came in a desktop case; the Power Macintosh 8200 is the 7200 in the same mini-tower case as the NuBus-based Power Macintosh 8100.
			* '''Power Macintosh G3''' (1998 - driver name ''pwrmacg3'', became working in MAME 0.290)
			::- Also known as the "beige G3" to differentiate it from the later Blue and White G3, which was also officially named "Power Macintosh G3". Originally intended to be a CHRP machine that would run both Mac OS and Windows NT. Includes a 233 MHz PowerPC 750 CPU, 32 MiB of RAM, an ATI Rage II or Rage Pro GPU, and 3 PCI slots.

	Known things wrong with these drivers. If it's listed here, I know about it, so it will eventually be fixed, hopefully.		Known things wrong with these drivers. If it's listed here, I know about it, so it will eventually be fixed, hopefully.

	* Finder windows sometimes draw with a corrupted background initially and then repaint correctly when covered with another window and then uncovered, particularly in Mac OS 9.		None at this time.

			* (Fixed in MAME 0.290) Quake crashes when it starts showing its demo.
			* (Fixed in MAME 0.290) Finder windows sometimes draw with a corrupted background initially and then repaint correctly when covered with another window and then uncovered, particularly in Mac OS 9.
	* (Fixed in MAME 0.289) Systems 7.5.0, 7.5.3, and 7.5.5 may throw an Error 11 if saved PRAM exists. Other System/Mac OS versions do not have this issue. Deleting the PRAM (a file named 'cuda' inside the 'pmac6100' folder in your MAME nvram folder) will allow a clean boot.		* (Fixed in MAME 0.289) Systems 7.5.0, 7.5.3, and 7.5.5 may throw an Error 11 if saved PRAM exists.

	* (Fixed in MAME 0.289) System 9.1 works but does not run full speed. Use 9.0.4 or 8.6 instead. NOTE: 9.1 will have heavier host system requirements than 9.0.4 and previous versions, but running it full speed is well within reach for many of today's computers. It's no sweat on an M3 MacBook Pro, for instance.		* (Fixed in MAME 0.289) System 9.1 works but does not run full speed. Use 9.0.4 or 8.6 instead.
