I used to have a fair bit of Amiga stuff once upon a time, I might still
have a 68030 board somewhere. Failing that you can probably pick one up in
Micro Mart pretty cheap. Commodore in their wisdom put in 68EC020 chips
which don't have MMUs. No MMU, no VM, no VM, no Linux.
68020 (Non EC revision), 68030 and above will all work.
