d'oh... I misread that as 68360 for some reason. (too much
68331-on-the-brain.)

best I could find was (a badly scanned) copy of the user manual...
http://merchant.hibbertco.com/mtrlext/fs22/pdf-docs/motorola/m68060um.rev1.pdf
and a minimal eval for the 68030, which I suppose isn't much use:
http://merchant.hibbertco.com/mtrlext/fs22/pdf-docs/motorola/ane426.rev0.pdf
there are the 68060-based MVME177 boards, but looking over documentation
for them doesn't reveal anything useful. I didn't find anything on
openh.org, either. suck.

reason enough. :) I've always dreamed of home-brewing a 68k NetBSD
system of my own. let us know if you succeed!
