Cool. I had a talk with Bradley (and maybe you Charles) at some past
IW9P about mangling the 68k compilers to support Coldfire but I never
went forward with it. I had inherited supporting a device that was
barely running uCLinux that I REALLY wanted to run Inferno on...

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?
