 Hi Guys !

Check this out:
http://netbsd.org/ports/x68k/

Are there any brave souls who's hardware is compatible with this beast ?

Supported System Models:

It is necessary to install Xellent30 or Jupiter-X MPU accelerator for X68000 series.
040turbo and 060turbo are also supported for X68030.

   X68030/X68030HD
   X68030compact/X68030compactHD
   X68000XVI/X68000XVI HD
   X68000SUPER/X68000SUPER HD
   X68000EXPERT/X68000EXPERT HD
   X68000PRO/X68000PRO HD
   X68000ACE/X68000ACE HD

Supported Peripherals:

NetBSD/x68k requires Motorola 680[346]0 processor (with MMU), SCSI board and harddisks, and over 4MByte memory and 100MByte of disk space.

Although the in-kernel FPU emulator can be built into the kernel for 68030-based systems, we recommend to install a FPU.

   Sharp genuine MB89352 SCSI host adapter and their compatibles
   Most SCSI devices
   Built-in floppy drives
   Built-in frame buffer (both of the text and graphics screen)
   Built-in Z8530 serial
   Built-in parallel (Centronics printer interface)
   The standard keyboard
   The mouse / trackball
   PSX16550 TL16C550CN UARTs
   Neptune-X NE2000 Ethernet
   Nereid RTL8019AS Ethernet
   Nereid bank memory
   Nereid SL811HS USB host controller
   Mach-2 SCSI host adapters
   Tsukumo TS-6BE16 extended memory
   Built-in ADPCM voice synthesizer

Not Yet Supported

Hardware that we do NOT currently support, but get many questions about:

   Old (SASI compatible) hard disk interface

Keep the scene alive !

X68000 personal computer is called, "X68K" or "no good good" is called, is the PC that are loved by many people today.

Am I reading that this will work on my 68030 compact with 12mb ram?  Or do I need something else?

eidis

You will need a SCSI HDD with 100 MB free space and preferably a 68030 CPU with MMU.

IIRC BSD _requires_ an 030 with an MMU as a minimum.
