Discussion, Not Issue: M68K port? #97

Open Oichkatzelesfrettschen opened 3 months ago

Hey what's up? Checking in to see if there have been any thoughts about a port to the M68K architecture? So the 68000 and 68010 CPUs.

Hobbiest boards, Sun2, Sun3, early Mac, SHARP X68000 systems, the like, and more.

Haven't really thought about this. In principle that would work, I don't have the capacity to do this, as there are still that many open items on the 6502.

Completely understood! I have a Mac Plus. M68000 CPU with 1MB RAM along with an external hard drive attachment.

If you are located in the Southwestern USA, It is yours, delivered. (If you ever feel the want to do 68K but lack hardware)

If you are in other locations, I should have an old PowerBook 100 with a M68000 CPU, 2MB RAM (BUT can go up to 8MB).

MO RUSH, NO PRESSURE. HOBBIES ARE FUN REGARDLESS OF INTENSE OR CHILL BUT FUN IS KEY!

If this does not seem fun to you, why even consider it? But if someday someone links up to help you with the 6502 issues, you and they wanna tinker here... I'll send you what I've got.
