There was no such thing as a 68050 :)

And Commodore only ever sold Amiga's with maximum 68040s (on a plugin
board, as a sortoff 'upgrade directly from the factory'), 68060's are
entirely aftermarket, some very late A4000T's where sold with 68060's
but this was on a 3rd party Accelerator board.

Ofcourse, porting Inferno to Amiga would require quite a bit more
effort to also support graphics etc, the Amiga doesnt have character
modes, so you will have to implement a whole framebuffer and run a
console on top of that (linux fb originates from the m68k port for
exactly this reason).

Also, Natami will not use the '68070' (which was a 68000 based SOC),
but their own rather wonky idea of a improved 060.
