mc68010+mc68451 Unix source?

[Michael Holley]

Ian,
Sorry I took so long to respond, I have been out of town.  I designed a plug in board to upgrade the ROM slot to an EPROM but a quick look did not tune up any extras.

I am going to do a serious  downsizing my collection and maybe we can work something out.

I remember reading the spec sheets for a MMU of that type - for the 6809!
That was one versatile little processor.
