[comp.sys.m68k] 68k Unix / 68k designs

bpalmer@bbn.com (Brian Palmer) (01/03/91)

Are there any writeups on Unix implementations on 68000's and 68010's.  I
have heard of several systems (Pixel, Dual, old Suns, Lisa) that ran SysV
and BSD Unix.  How did they handle virtual memory?  What additional support
hardware did they use?  I'm looking for literature/info with a good mix of
hardware and software issues and solutions.

And on related subject, are there any public domain 68K hardware designs?
Did I hear that Stanford had once produced a computer design?  I'm looking
for examples designs along the lines of the PC532 (a completely "open"
design based on the NS32532) but for the 680x0 series.  Did anyone ever hear
of such a project?

Thanks,
Brian
