Fuzix runs on Plasmo's Tiny68K! I have a 68010 in mine, it works.
Fuzix is a Unix for machines without a MMU. It can run on 8-bit CPUs in addition to the 68000.

To make things easier for those wanting to try this here, I have made available a bootable disk image which already has the first 1024 bytes stripped off as necessary here on my website: https://www.matrixwide.com/files/tiny68k-0.3.img
It seems to be a bit over 128 MB but I wrote it to a 128 MB CF card and so far it seems fine. YMMV.
Please don't share the link outside of this group as it resides on my presonal webserver.
On first boot it will want to fsck filesystems, reboot manually when it is done. cd to /usr/games, run ./adventure and there you go, Colossal Cave on the Tiny68k.

quarterturn,
Thanks you as well.
I'm a Windows user so I used Win32DiskImager to copy your .img file to a 4G compact flash. I was puzzled on how to boot Fuzix, but as you've mentioned, use 'bo' command to boot up Fuzix. I should've known that Alan Cox would take advantage of that command and install the Fuzix bootstrap in the right place on the CF disk. It works great.
