This port runs on all 68030 NuBus (and SE/30) Macs and supports the following hardware : NCR 5380 SCSI controller Zilog 8530 SCC and lots of Apple-specific things... You can find lots of valuable information in The Design and Implementation of the 4.3 BSD Operating System (short "The Demon Book") by McKusick et al. Would you mind telling me some details about your 68030 machine ? I have some 68020s lying around here and would really like to build a machine with the 020. The last machine I built still used the 6809.... :-) Michael Engel (engel@numerik.fb6.uni-siegen.de)
