wasn’t the 6502 a glorified microcontroller? I haven’t torn apart retrobsd to see if it uses MMU style stuff which a stock 68000 obviously won’t have…

I guess the ‘hard’ part is that a genesis & it’s expansion seems to act like separate machines.. I don’t think the 32x can see the sega-cd’s 512kb of ram, although I have to wonder as there clearly was 32x CD games. Likewise I have no idea if it’d be possible to boot from cartridge, init the CD, and use it’s RAM/CD?

I guess I should just get my hands dirty and see what happens.

apparently there was one, although only in japan: http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/pic/segakb.html

restrobsd is cool, too bad i never really got into micro-controllers and porting unix to toasters. i’m sure it could be adapted to the genesis, hell, we even have a UNIX-ish system for the commodore 64 (lunix)..

well… look @ retrobsd http://code.google.com/p/retrobsd/ .. 512kb of storage (ROM ok..?) and 128kb of ram…

A stock genesis couldn’t do it, but the Sega-CD (Mega-CD) could, as could the 32x …The 1st gen genesis/megadrives had a 9pin serial port so a TTY could be done over that…. Was there ever a keyboard attachment for the genesis?
