A friend and I are thinking of porting Minix to a spare AT&T
UNIX PC that's lying around, and we wanted to know which port
we should start with.

The UNIX PC is a 68010 box; if you're not familiar with the
68010, it's (not surprisingly) between the 68020 and 68000.  It
has memory protection.  Is it worth starting from a 386 version
for the memory protection, and 32-bit stuff, or should we start
from a 68000 version and add on?  And if the latter, which one?
We want the machine to boot Minix, not run it under the
existing OS.

Comments, suggestions, etc. welcome (hey, that's why I'm
posting here, right? :-) ) by posting or email.

Thanks!
