I thought NetBSD works fine with the 68LC040, but
wouldn't work with the
68*EC*040.
I had to go look that up:
68040: cpu + mmu + fpu
68LC040: cpu + mmu (no fpu)
68EC040: cpu (no mmu or fpu)
From what I read, netbsd requires the mmu. There is a
software fpu in netbsd,
but it's not totally complete so some things crash.
Btw, someone emailed me and I have a new cpu on the way. Sweet!
