- That's true. I feel reasonably confident wrt the Atari, but know nothing about
- Macs or Amigas. I don't even have an 68030 Atari but would buy one if there was
- a reasonable chance of running BSD.
-
- >Think we could require 68030 or better for openers?
-
- Yes. 68000-only systems don't give the performance necessary, I had Minix on
- my ST for a while but was never very happy with it, for just that reason.
-
- >I was thinking development using gcc...
-
- Yes, the first thing would be to get a gcc cross compiler for Moto chips running
- under 386BSD. This compiler could then be used for cross-development within the
- 386BSD source tree.

- I'm just trying to find a good 3.5" ~ ! GB hard disk to get started :-)
