All this talk of Unix and other OSes...

[Andrew Burton]

To my knowledge Amiga's went all the way!

I think the CD32 had one of the embedded chip CPU's (eg. 68ECxxxx), but I know Amiga's definately went to the 68040.
Some did use the 68050 and 68060, but I don't know whether they were added later by users or whether they were added at the factory.
Of course Natima is going to run the 68070, but don't quote me on that as I haven't been following the project that closely.

Assuming you have at least 1M of memory in the Amiga,
a native Inferno port could be fun.  If your Amiga is
re-68020 (I can't remember how far Amigas went in
the family), you'll have to do a little work on the compiler
to keep it from assuming a 680x0, x>=2.
