I can't wait for the 68k port of Haiku to be in a usable state.  It would make a great alternative OS for the NatAmi/FPGA Replay machines.


Doesn't Haiku require an MMU in the CPU?  NatAmi's N68050 won't have one.  I don't think the default softcore of the Replay board will either.

Hmm, I tried it on a Core 2 Duo box I nabbed from the recycle center, with an i945 board...the installer seemed happy enough with it, but I haven't tried anything with video acceleration, sound, or networking yet.


Gallium3D hasn't been ported to Haiku yet.  There will be video acceleration someday, but it's not here yet.

Yes it needs an MMU. The 060 would provide this if they allow a real CPU to be used in place of the soft core, like Yaqube's board for the Replay.


Yes, the NatAmi allows a 68060 accelerator.  In fact, it is presently required on the current prototypes since the N68050 isn't finished yet.
