Subject: S-100 Unix, and the wonderful NS16032
The 68010 can swap out the MMU's segment registers, but with only 32 and
512word
pages, there simply aren't enough of them! You really need piles and piles
of that
little mmu to do anything useful. I want to have 6meg virtual addresses...Try
that
little bit of arithmetic. You can do it on a 16032.
Because it hasn't been done yet, the 68k s100 unix machines should be killed
before
they start growing.
The first (and currently only) micro-mainframe is the 16k.

p.s. if you are still hot for the 68010, take a look at the number
of clock states for instructions vs the 68000...it'll brighten
your flames a bit.
