And, wow, do i miss the old X-window workstations...well, i should clarify that i LOVED those (I think they were Sparc?) workstations that ran Solaris or SunOS back in the day! Man, that takes me back some years...but i really loved those machines! :-)
No 32-bit sparc anymore (only UltraSPARC, aka sparc64).
No SunOS compatibility (despite Theo de Raadt inventing it for NetBSD, before being copied by other BSDs).

luna88k, while related, is not 68k.

Kenji Aoyama truly is aligned with the best of the hacker spirit. As for getting your hands on a luna88k, I have no clue. The only thing I managed to find was a broken one that sold for ~USD 750 at an online auction.

I misremembered it as being similar to the relationship between the 6502 and the 65C816
Another part of my nostalgia with those old workstations (besides the core OS) was the desktop environment, i think CDE or motif or something like that. Something about the look and feel of that DE i always thought was cool!
