Actually, I bought a complete NeXT system (I think it was a slab) 3-4 years ago for this very purpose, but I haven't even unpacked it yet. :) I've also got an HP 9000/425e (kbd and mouse, but no monitor), and at least half a dozen old m68k Macs in my basement. And I started on a port of uClinux to non-MMU m68k-based Macs 3-4 years ago using a Mac SE with 8 MB RAM an ethernet card. I managed to build a working Penguin booter for System 7 and a linux-2.0.38 uClinux kernel, but the combination never got to userland (although I did get serial console output through 'POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX', then the kernel tried to initialize the MMU and went into an endless loop). First things first, though. I need to get a cross-dev environment set up that works (or at least that I trust). I have yet to build a 2.2 kernel (from mac68k CVS) or a 2.4 kernel (from m68k CVS) that will boot to userland on my Quadra 660av! The last working kernel I have for it is 2.2.16 from mac68k CVS.
