There are quite a few oldschool Amiga OCS/ECS demos that will run as intended, perfectly, smoothly only on base Amiga 1000, 500, 2000 systems with 68000 CPU -- unaccelerated. One example is TBL's Eon (2019) -- an incredible demo.
I've encountered a few games that fall into this category also.
Will these run properly with 68000-emulator accelerators such as the PiStorm? It emulates the 68000, but can it do so with 100% never-failing, cycle-exact precision when operating as a base, unaccelerated 68000 at 7.16/7.09 MHz?
The demos I speak of fail to run or run visibly broken with most accelerators, including my A2620 (14.32MHz 68020).

HabrNovomatic Coolfire. Самый навороченный игровой автомат двухтысячных
Приветствую всех! Пару лет назад я уже рассказывал про игровые автоматы. И вот сейчас ко мне в руки попало довольно интересное железо — Novomatic Coolair, игровая платформа от одного из самых продвинутых производителей такого оборудования. Сегодня мы узнаем, как были устроены «топовые» игровые автоматы и как заставить работать начинку от них. Заодно соберём своего «механического гангстера», выиграем первый миллион и тут же его проиграем. Как водится, будет много интересного. Congratulations! Jackpot won!

Michael Engel@galaxis Somewhat related – an article about a Minix port to the Atari ST (with lots of technical details, however, I'm not sure if this describes the version that was available for purchase later):
Aarron Gull and Sunil K. Das, Port of the MINIX Operating System to the Atari ST, European Unix Systems User Group Newsletter, Volume 9, Number 1 Spring 1989, p. 89 ff.
https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Documentation/AUUGN/AUUGN-V10.2.pdf
In 1978, Prof. Verbaeten ported 7th Ed. Unix to the Motorola 68000 at KU Leuven in Belgium. This port is not archived at TUHS, only mentioned here:
https://eng.kuleuven.be/en/stories/50-years-of-computer-science-engineering
https://museum.cs.kuleuven.be/misc/Tim_Ameye_Sander_Van_Loock_40-jaar.pdf (p. 12)
There's also a paper describing the port which is not available:
Verbaeten, P., Berbers, Y. (1983). Porting Unix. In: Proceedings of UNICOM Conference, San Diego.
If you happen to have pointers to any of this, I would be happy to hear from you!
David HembrowI just found my Sinclair QL lurking at the back of the garage. It's going to take a bit of work to get it going again.
I built it into a metal toolbox to sit beside my desk and used a separate keyboard, which was borrowed from a VT100 and rewired to work with the QL.
My QL had not the usual 128 K of RAM, nor was it expanded to only 640 K, but I had 656 K, with an extra 16 K battery backed on a board which I could also use as an EPROM emulator when doing things with other micros. That board also contains a Dallas clock chip, so I didn't have to set the time everytime that I booted the machine up.
The extra 16 K of RAM was actually in the slot usually reserved for a ROM cartridge so it usually contained the dongle from Metacomco's port of the Lattice C compiler alongside a bit of extra code of my own.

Happy Birthday, Atari ST!
Already 40 years, where has the time gone?
