M68K Port

Greetings all.

I'm looking for an OS to run on my M68K computer, I'm fairly decent with C but have never touched Assembly, so that'll be a learning curve. If you have any resources about porting an operating system like this to this platform, please reply. I'm very eager to get started.

Thank you

You cannot 'port' KolibriOS to your M68K computer.

KolibriOS kernel, drivers, libraries and applications are mostly written in x86 assembly without portability in mind, tying it very tightly to this specific architecture.
In practice it would mean a complete rewrite of everything KolibriOS, leaving nothing but the name.

Sorry to pop your bubble!

Thank you for your help, I suppose I'll have to create my own M68k O/S.

Kind regards
