it's a mad hack i have done in 2009, trying to put a full gentoo/m68k on (which simply does not exist, so i had to create it)
i need money to repair my Octane2, or to replace it, also i need to have more free space in my small room, so here it is my crazy box for sale, featured with
the following screenshot show how pretty she boots from a SEAGATE ST32550N hard drive, which trust me … this SCSI disc was very very noisy, while the micro drive is very silent (even if … slower due to my SCSI-to-pATA interface)
# gcc -v
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
just to make you understand how "pretty slow" is this machine with linux
# time gcc hAllo.c -o hAllo
# ./hAllo
a modern machine takes 0.062s for the real time parameter
btw, let me know if you want to feel the gentoo/m68k Appeal

- 68060 FULL, it has MMU and FPU (68LC060 does not have FPU, 68EC060 does not have FPU and MMU)
- SmartSocket, to put a 68060 on the 68040 socket you need it, as it performs 3.3V conversion for the 68060, the 68040 uses 5V, also it has a PLL to provide the proper clock, while 68040 has a double frequency in quadrature, which the 68060 simply doesn't have
- clocked @ 33Mhz (PLL hack, it was @ 25Mhz)
- rom hacked to put 68060SP on, as this CPU does not support all the 68040 ISA, you need a "support package", more specifically you need to put "handlers" on "unsupported opcode exceptions", the hack is needed to have the firmware able to boot the kernel, which bootstrap thinking to have to deal with a 68060, so … it requires the SP already loaded by the boot loader. I wanted to put everything into flash instead of dealing with what is loaded from the hard drive at early boot stage because i wanted to profile all my firmware to 68060 instead of having things compiled for 68000 and things compiled for 68060
- LAN E410, it's a NuBus/E420 LC PDS, EtherNet Adapter on RJ45
- SCSI to pATA, it's a board i have developed by myself, it's not the perfection, it's slow, but … it performs 3Mbyte/sec making you able to put a micro drive on
- micro drive of 4Gbyte with a mon68k, a second stage boot loader, and the linux kernel 2.6.27-hacked, plus a ram rootfs + a full gentoo stage4, but i mean … the minimal survival apps, gcc, binutils, a bit of utilities, and … nothing more, it takes to much to emerge things, but it has a full portage, python and emerge … this machine takes 7 month 24h/24 to emerge her stage4, also … using NFS due to the limitations of the installed ram (too poor for emerge, the swap file was provided by NFS, 1Gbyte), CPU power (the 68060 is hardly under clocked, it can go up to 66/75Mhz), etc
- 32Mbyte installed
- LCD 2x16 backlighted on the front of the machine, connected to the /dev/ttyS1, so it is possible to put short-texts on (load balance, machine status, pretty MessageOfTheDay, whatever), i have removed the floppy that is -broken- and -useless-
