Subject: Re: [Amiga] Linux and a 68040
Ok, where to start.... If you have a EC chip, that means you
have no MMU, period. This in turn means that you will never be able to run a full fledged Unix on your machine without getting a new processor. (Minix runs without an MMU because it doesn't do VM.) As for Linux, it will be a while before it makes it to an 040. This is because the 040 implements a subset of the MMu instructions of an 030 thus making the port difficult. Once the 030 is *functional*, then someone (with an 040) will pick up on getting the appropriate stuff ported. I'll post any news I receive here. If you are interested in helping out with the 040 stuff (which means you are intimate with 040 MMU programming) send me email and I will put you in touch with the appropriate persion. _Phil You must Sign in before you can post messages.
