In the case of Penguin, you also need to know MacOS internals. But these bootloaders have bugs, like any other program, and someone has to maintain them…
If Penguin needs maintenance, I’m still here and I still develop for classic Mac OS. I’ve ditched CodeWarrior’s proprietary project files, though I still use the non-free Metrowerks compiler and linker (but now in MPW’s ToolServer, driven by my own build tool running in MacRelix). Lately I’ve been using custom post-linkers to improve startup code compatibility with older OS versions. I’m not in a position to do testing on hardware or development relating to Linux bootup, but as before, I can maintain and build Mac OS programs. Cheers, Josh
