NetBSD/next68k

About NetBSD/next68k NetBSD/next68k is a port of NetBSD to the 'black' 68k NeXT hardware. It currently only runs on 68040 NeXT systems using non-ADB keyboard and mouse. There is experimental support for turbo NeXT machines (33Mhz) in NetBSD-current. Easily installed binary distributions of NetBSD/next68k are available for the 2.0 release and for snapshots of NetBSD-current. Matt DeBergalis is the maintainer of NetBSD/next68k. Darrin B. Jewell was the maintainer until the release of NetBSD 1.5.1 and still contributes to NetBSD/next68k.
