Subject: [9fans] 2c/2l make sense, but why 1c/1l?

Hello,

I'm wondering about the history of the 68000 compiler/tools.  Support for the 68020 makes sense, it had an MMU, but 68000 did not.  And it had some design flaws that prevented it from working correctly with the external MMU, the 68451.  So why does/did Plan 9 have a 68000 compiler?  Did Plan 9 ever run on an MMU-less 68000?

thx.
