The Oasys board IS the Definicon 32K board.  Oasys sells and supports it
with (demand paged) SVR2 UN*X.  The UN*X port wasn't done by Definicon
so I believe Oasys is the best source for the complete package.

Its my guess that you won't see a real UN*X for the '020 Definicon board
until the 68851 PMMU becomes available ( REAL SOON NOW :-) ) since they
built the board for that MMU and don't provide any other memory management
circuitry.
