1.42 miod 23: OpenBSD/mac68k runs on many of the Motorola 680x0-based Apple Macintosh
1.47 henning 24: computers.
1.42 miod 25: It requires a Motorola 68020, 68030, or a 68040 processor. If you have a
1.11 briggs 26: 68020, it will also need a Motorola 68851 PMMU (note that this is
1.42 miod 27: different from the 68881, which is an FPU).
