It was done via MacOnLinux and YellowDog PPC Linux on the AmigaOne G3 hardware. He claimed to have taken a SCSI hard drive from his PowerMac that had MacOS 9.2 on it and it was able to work with MacOnLinux under Yellowdog Linux on the AmigaOne. Not a Mac Clone, but one step closer to running MacOS on an Amiga. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

Kind of a neat hack, though. A little bit like running Linux in Virtual PC on a Mac. (Which I've done. As long as you didn't run GNOME or KDE, it performed pretty decently.)
