I think trying to support .NET on a 68k processor, while a good learning excercise etc, will be pretty nasty. It's never going to provide enough speed for anything beyond a hello world style app. Consider the speed .NETCF on a 400mhz PocketPC; it's pretty slow. I'd hate to think how much slower it would be on a 12mhz Palm.
