That's not *entirely* accurate. You might, emphasis on might, have a
specific version of the LC040 that is not damaged. Many LC040s were flawed
in such a way that makes FPU emulation impossible, even under MacOS
(SoftwareFPU, for example). Second, the 500 series ADB chips have only
recently become supported by m68k Linux, using the 2.4.1 kernels. Previously
you would have needed a serial terminal to actually control the machine. The
m68k Linux website is at http://mac.linux-m68k.org. Feel free to email me
with any other questions.
