68020 had a separate socket for MMU's. 68030 and above afaik have it
integrated. The L040 had no FPU. I don't know if there are cut down 68030's.
Anywho both netbsd and debian claim full support for a bog standard si with no mention of MMU.
IIsi a plain 030 IIRC.
I myself used a IIci, but am now struggling to get a Quadra 840AV going. (rulez, 040/40, I'm into 68k macs because of the cheap 68k, am no maccer)
The IIci killed too many harddisks.
Whats the problem with the 840? I'll take a guess and say the ethernet with netbsd?
You might try the Max list for either if you need pointers. Helpful but quite bunch over there.
I favor Debian and have had no real software problems, the hard drive sounds like a old manual typewriter other than that it works.
The extra 15mhz would make a difference. I'm using a centris 650, big improvemnt over the quadra 700.
Cheers
