I hadn't thought of that - unixy-something on a
68K would be kind of
nice. I should do that on the Mac LC 475 that has been sitting in my
closet for 10 years.
I have a Q605 (LC 475's closest relative) with a full '040 that runs
NetBSD very nicely. It's actually pretty snappy, considering, although
it takes it a bit to generate SSH keys.
The 25MHz IIci runs NetBSD extremely reliably, just extremely slowly.
A/UX does much better on my 50MHz IIci (Daystar '030 + FPU card) than at
its stock speed.
It's surprising how practical Unix on a 68K Mac can be.
