I know that I have the board support archive somewhere (schematics in PS,
format) but I have to locate it. There's also a 68k board from James
Antonakos, Peter Stark, Theo Markettos and one from "Scotty".
I'm not able to retrieve these from my home network at this point but when I
get back home, I'll create a little 68k page on my Web site and let y'all
know about it.

I believe that the project you are interested in is
the one done by Ingo
Cyliax at Indiana University. He developed (for a class I believe) an ISA
form factor board that had a MC68030. At one time I had all the artwork &
schematics (I may still??). A search brought up a couple of references, but
the page at Indiana University seems to have been taken down. It was a pretty
good system, including interfaces for keyboards and mice (I believe). It DID
have ISA slots, and the ROM software worked against a standard
IDE/Serial/Parallel board set, booting the disk. The memory was fixed at 4
megs (I may be wrong at this), and used the synchronous interface of the
MC68030. The ISA portion used the async interface for the ISA timing, and an
interrupt multiplexer multi interface chip (MC68901??) to handle the keyboard
I/O.
The web site also included a frame buffer that used an alternate interface
that was provided for. I believe that there was an edition of Minix that ran
on it as well. I suspect that with a little work 68k Linux ought to work, as
the MC68030 has an MMU.
Maybe someone can use this information to access the Wayback machine and get a
proper pointer.
Hope this helps.
