We're still rocking a couple of those. On an isolated management network, they just keep working.

Cisco 2500 series used a 68EC030, which is a dumbed-down 68030 with no MMU. The Linux m68k project always required an MMU, so it would not run on that CPU. There was some attempt to do an MMU-less Linux kernel fork at one point, but I don't know if that included any m68k effort (or if it really went anywhere). -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/RDIQXOK2DWK2CISG5Z4SDI42I73S32KG/ _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/44ZCZJ7GEFH62EFDL6SDZ5EHXDB5ZDJM/
