I've uploaded a second test kernel build. This one includes my patch queue
https://github.com/fthain/linux/commits/mac68k-queue
Apart from these 28 patches this build is exactly the same as the build on
sourceforge described above. It can be downloaded here,

These patches cover a wide range of Mac 68k hardware which makes it
difficult for me to test, So I'm (ab)using the Debian list to try to find
users willing to help improve test coverage prior to patch submission.
Thanks.
