Hello,

Well, the Macintosh April Fool's joke (Gee Matt, whatta cruel guy you are!)
piqued my interest. . .

Is there anybody out there who is working on such a beast? I'm kinda
interested in playing around with it.

PLEASE NOTE: I am *not* stating that I am "going to port Linux to the
Macintosh, and boy will it be neato!" I'm just interested in playing around
with some 68K/MMU combo assembly and seeing how they compare with 386 memory
primatives, maybe duplicating the legendary 2 processes talking to each other
that started the Linux Project, and seeing what happens. . .

Life is a constant expansion of the learning process :-)

If anybody is already doing this, or if you have put some thought into the
idea, please e-mail me with problems that you have come up with that need
to be surmounted, ways to approach the problem(s), hardware info, source you
think is applicable, etc.

I can be reached at:

        nmspillers@ualr.edu
        nate@ren.ualr.edu
        nate@tucana.ualr.edu
        nms@curie.ualr.edu

Awaiting your replies!
