Does the world need a new single-board computer design with an MC68060 CPU?
I'm thinking about 4GB of DDR3 DRAM, one serial port, one M.2 slot for an NVMe SSD, and one Ethernet port (probably 1Gbps). Not intended to be software-compatible with any existing board or system.

Same question, but various 32-bit RISC processors? MC88110? Am29000/Am29050 (pin compatible)? Intel 80960KA/KB/MC/XA? TI TMS34020?

@brouhaha Hey, if anyone is interested, I have a TMS34020 ICE sitting on my shelf that I'd love to send to someone who wants it! I'm in the US, not far from Philly, I'm willing to pay most or all of the shipping within the US at least.

@brouhaha For those not familiar, the TMS34020 was a Graphics System Processor from TI back a ways - it's a neat chip with interesting features like bit-wise pointers, selectable big or little endian operation, and the inner loop or Breshenhem's algorithm as a single processor instruction. Thoroughly weird and wonderful.

@brouhaha And if anyone wants a PCB that used this thing, I might still have one or two that I trash picked from a previous employer - custom board with a DSP32 and a 68020 on it as well as the 34020.

@mhkohne Yes, would be interested in those, too!
Thank you!

@mhkohne @brouhaha Well known for the 34K series having been used in Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, and others.

@mhkohne
I would live to have one, and would gladly pay the shipping to Colorado. Or maybe even take a road trip to pick it up.
