[coyotos-dev] Embedded processors

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

Anton:

The speed and memory on that device would not be a problem, but the
mc68vz328 does not implement an MMU. Coyotos requires an MMU.

There are later handheld devices that *do* have MMUs, including many
that are now old enough to be pretty cheap. I would check to see what
devices are supported at handhelds.org, because we know that we have
enough information to implement drivers for those devices.
