Modern operating system booting on hardware that is closing in on 40 years old in just over three minutes, this is wild to see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btwiiZw3B2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btwiiZw3B2s Kenji Aoyama truly is aligned with the best of the hacker spirit. As for getting your hands on a luna88k, I have no clue. The only thing I managed to find was a broken one that sold for ~USD 750 at an online auction.

If you're interested, you should check out Miod Vallat's Motorola 88k story. http://miod.online.fr/software/openbsd/stories/m88k.html http://miod.online.fr/software/openbsd/stories/m88k.html One interesting bit of trivial is Luna-88k workstations were heavily used to implement CMU Mach (which would eventually be used by Apple).
