Any other 68k OSes run in 68k mac emulators ?

[fishy_fiz]

The topic says it all really. Surely there's something other than apple products that works on 68k macs that would also work inside shapeshifter (or fusion/basillisk, etc.). Anyone ever tried ?

I tried to boot both netbsd and linux under shapeshifter etc. but appearantly, even when there is an MMU available there in the CPU, it is not available from within the emulator.

Can ask why would u do this  ?  Just out of curoisty.
 
Isn't there netbsd port for miggy

[kolla]

Can ask why would u do this?

To f.ex. run AmigaOS and NetBSD on the Amiga at once?

No particular reason, just a bit of fun mostly. There was an article I read a little while ago about a guy who (if memory serves correctly) ran some form of 68k linux on his '040 mac compiled qemu and ran ppc OSX. Took crazy amounts of time to boot let alone install, but I got a kick out of reading about it Ive got a pretty nice amithlon box set up at the moment (c2d@3.86gz) and I think it could be fun to see what pointless, but cool stuff I could do inside what's not too far removed from a 68k virtual machine (shapeshifter)

Speaking of which, assuming something like mk68 linux to run (offshoot that will run mmu-less (I think that's its name, Im going by memory)), can anyone tell me what sort of things I will and wont have access to from a developers perspective? Will I still have access to most of the usual suspects? (sdl/allegro/cairo/gtk/etc.). I ask this both in general of 68k linux, but am also interested how/when/where lack of an mmu may influence things as well.

Thanks in advance

Oh, and just to clarify, Im not just wanting to run some form of linux/bsd, but taking advantage of eithers (potential) development tools inside shapeshifter sounds fun

I am interested in checking any other OSes that might run inside Shapeshifter too though.

I for one would very much like to have a Mac emulator which can run A/UX. I have yet to find one, and none of my real 68k Macs supports it.

Very cool for it's time. I love the System 7 GUI and that + UNIX = love.

you could emulate a mac on your Amiga and then a pc under macos using virtualpc !

You could also probably run MachTen -> Unix like
and aslo MagiC Mac -> Atari ST compatible OS

I have run them on my Quadra long ago.

Hopefully one day, we get AROS m68k ported to Quadras/Performas. It would be really cool to run AROS both in shapeshifter, and on a real, now easily and cheaply available 68040 Macs.
