1. PowerPC Platform standard> PPCP, PReP - PowerPC Reference Platform, formerly CHRP - Common Hardware Reference Platform An open system standard, designed by IBM, intended to ensure compatibility among PowerPC-based systems built by different companies. The PReP standard specifies the PCI bus, but will also support ISA, MicroChannel and PCMCIA. PReP-compliant systems will be able to run the Macintosh OS, OS/2, WorkplaceOS, AIX, Solaris, Taligent and Windows NT. IBM systems will of course be PReP-compliant. Apples first PowerPC Macintoshes will not be compliant, but future ones may be.
