- Technically, I believe that NTK requires a 68030, but it can be run using
- a 68020 and Connectix's Mode32 (I think you might need a PMMU (hardware),
- also, but I'm not sure about this). The big problem, and why it won't run
- on an original Mac, is that it requires 32 bit memory access, which an old
- Mac can't do.

- I suspect that's the problem with EXECUTOR, as well.
