Here's a small homebrew 68000. It has 2 MB of SRAM and 128k of EEPROM. Runs at 25 MHz. Two serial ports at 38.4k baud via a 68681 DUART. It has a compact flash interface via a Toshiba 82C55A. Currently running CP/M 68k (v1.3) with sixteen 8 MB "disk drives" on the compact flash.

Do you have plans to release the schematics, Gerber files, code, etc?
I suppose that I could do that .... at least the Gerbers. But how? I used to have a "user Web site" on Google where I posted details of a lot of my projects (www.hanscom.us), but several years ago Google "upgraded" the format of their sites and completely destroyed their usefulness for distributing information like that. *frown* There's direct contact information (I believe) in what's left of that Google site. If you drop me an e-mail at that address, I can send you the .zip file that was used to produce the PCB at JLCPCB. I also have no problem releasing the code (firmware and compact flash image), but that will take quite a bit more effort on my part to pull it together, so maybe further on down the road? And again, how would I do that? Much larger files.

I must stress that I'm not able to provide a lot of support for a project like this. I'm just an amateur.

GitHub is probably the most typical place to host projects like this. I’d love to check out the circuit design and potentially build one to mess with. Nice work. It’s a great accomplishment to design something like this from scratch!
