Where were you when you were doing this? I have all my source in /y1/src
(or something like that), with /usr/src a soft link there (and /sys a soft
link to /usr/sys). When I configure, I cd to sys/arch/mac68k/conf and
type config POKEY. The directory ../compile (sys/arch/mac68k/compile)
already exists, and all goes well. Are you trying to config from
somewhere else? I'd recomend not. But you can have sys/arch/mac68k/compile/YOU
a softlink somewhere else, or you can use the DESTDIR setup (which I
still need to learn).

These files are all a size of which 5 fit on a 1.2 MB floppy, and 6 fit on
a 1.44 MB floppy. Just read them in, and "cat src12.[ab]* > src12.tgz" to
re-construct the gzipped tar file. tar xzf src12.tgz will extract all.

Good luck!

Take care,
