@asian1:
* Pano logic's terminal lacks RAM.
* Coldfire => incompability problems.
* 68040, major rework. And actually only 68020+mmu or 68030 is needed for "unix".
However you could proberbly implemement some mmu and memory protection mode with the FPGA and add the needed code changes in NetBSD and make minimig run unix properly. This would not be particulary compatible however. Except maybe for m68k userland applications.

@Matt_H:
Actually asfaik, FPU is not a requirement. But at least for NetBSD/68k MMU is (and likely linux too).

Can we at least get the basic A500-level capability done first???


If the original poster feels like implementing this, it's fine. Personally I won't put any effort into it.
I agree on basic A500 OCS capability as the #1 priority. And within that DRAM + HDL cpu is good implementation candidates. Because that would eliminate the need for a specific Minimig board.
