I think the Debian project only owns a couple of Amigas and maybe Macs.
Unfortuantely it seems the debian-m68k developers only have amigas and macs
themselves (plus one atari hiding in a closet with harddisk problem?), but
no (working) atari or vme machines (nor q40/q60). Now if somebody would
doante such machines to the project, or sell them for a reasonable price (ie
below ebay price...), Stephen would not have to ask that often.

Maybe we should add VME there, and some parts (nics, external case for SCSI
disks, video cards come to mind).
Re q40: I've put a kernel-image for testing up on
http://master.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/kernel-image/
If I get positive feedback, I will upload it to the archive. Since I never
heard back from the sun people, I can not build images for sun yet.
