Are you trying to create an embedded version of Minix :-)? (For the  Curious,
the 68070 was Signetics/Philips attempt at an integrated 68K core based
CPU; it had, amoung other things, a UART, two DMA channels, a 16-bit timer with
two 16-bit compare registers, and a simple MMU that could handle up to 8
segments of up to 2 Mbytes or 128 segments of up to 128 Kbytes).

A more interresting port would be to Motorola's 68332, covered in the October
and November issues of "Embedded Systems".
