amiga
- works with linux-2.6

atari
- works with linux-2.6.
- broken VGA console with “much” FastRAM (244 MiB or so) in 2.6.39-1 (works in 2.6.38-5), patch being polished for inclusion
mac
- works with linux-2.6
- adb now works!
linux-2.4
- Don't expect too much from 2.4 as it is mostly in maintenance mode.
- Atari and Mac SCC serial drivers missing
- Atari ST-RAM swap code broken
- 2.4.30 works on Atari Falcon/CT60, including serial driver and console graphics (FAT partitions do not work), this should go in a package
- ROM port Ethernet driver (EtherNEC) for 2.4.30 functional and posted to debian-68k, should also go into a package.
