Strange that they mention almost all well-known 68k machines, but forget the (extremely relevant in this case) Atari ST...
- cakehonolulu 3mo agoI basically wrote them down as they came to my mind, but I agree. I'm still waiting to find a decently priced Falcon 030...
- rbanffy 3mo ago> Falcon 030 Get a TT and make it your daily driver with Atari Unix. About the list, the 68000 and its descendants ended up in most of the Unix/technical workstation and small mini computer market before everyone moved to RISC (Sun to SPARC, HP to PA, and so on).
- manytimesaway 3mo agoGood luck finding a TT030 cheaper than a Falcon030...
- cmrdporcupine 3mo agoI have one in here in good shape I'll sell you. Bonus if you're in Canada to simplify shipping or pickup.
- manytimesaway 3mo agoActually interested if you're okay with shipping it across the sea.
- rbanffy 3mo agoIf that doesn't work out, I'm in Ireland and also interested.
- cmrdporcupine 3mo agoBack in the day my friends who did this ran NetBSD and not Atari's Unix, which was expensive and unsupported.
- boricj 3mo agoThe Sega Saturn might also qualify, as its sound subsystem has a 68000 with 512 KiB of RAM. Running Linux on it might be trickier though.
- UncleSlacky 3mo agoAlso, honourable mention for the Sinclair QL (though it was a 68008 machine).
