I think the Debian project only owns a couple of Amigas and maybe Macs. Unfortuantely it seems the debian-m68k developers only have amigas and macs themselves (plus one atari hiding in a closet with harddisk problem?), but no (working) atari or vme machines (nor q40/q60). Now if somebody would doante such machines to the project, or sell them for a reasonable price (ie below ebay price...), Stephen would not have to ask that often. http://www.debian.org/donations#equipment_donations http://www.debian.org/misc/hardware_wanted Maybe we should add VME there, and some parts (nics, external case for SCSI disks, video cards come to mind). Re q40: I've put a kernel-image for testing up on http://master.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/kernel-image/ If I get positive feedback, I will upload it to the archive. Since I never heard back from the sun people, I can not build images for sun yet. Christian
