- I would be interested in this port, although it comes a little late: I am
- just getting the point where NetBSD is running on my PPI Zeus board. The MMU
- code isn't very pretty and the unimplemented floating point emulation is just
- the bare minimum to let the basic system programs run (i.e. df, fsck, and
- newfs in particular). I also don't have it working with copyback cache
- enabled yet.

- Do you have an email address for Charles? I would like to find out if I
- can see what he's done and what parts could be applicable to the Amiga. (My
- changes shouldn't affect compiling to run on a 68020/68030 machine.)
