Just a heads up - the (sometimes controversial) Apollo Core 68080 is
perhaps getting an (available) MMU too now, and one of the goals is that
it will be compatible with "Linux / BSD".

A bit about progress is here:

If this materialize, I might just get a V4 standalone solely to run Linux
and/or NetBSD, whichever will work best.
