thanks dogcow!, ive found a really good resource on linux m68 for mac site

im also delving into the details on the 52c80 scsi chip and its implementation on the plus&pb100. very interesting.

im erring towards the powerbook 100 sofar, as it seems to have 8mb of system ram available.... which is kinda cool.

for a ramdisk im thinking I will build the avr scsi ramdisk that is floating around the net, but bumping the ram upto 700mb with 72pin simms.
