Probably a RAD750 derivative.

The original MC68000 was fabricated using an HMOS process with a 3.5 µm feature size. Formally introduced in September 1979,[4] initial samples were released in February 1980, with production chips available over the counter in November.[5] Initial speed grades are 4, 6, and 8 MHz.

The next thing is, a classic AmigaOS (running on m68k) won't have the resources to run a beast like llvm/clang. You may be able to provide enough memory (classic AmigaOS can deal with up 768 MiB RAM, maybe more in 3.x releases), but you won't have enough computing power. Last year I cross-compiled a minimalistic Linux for an Amiga1200 68060@66MHz and 256MiB RAM (https://github.com/wgottwalt/openadk). Nice to see a 5.9.x kernel booting on a classic Amiga, but it takes ages. I also included gcc 10.2 for having some fun with C++20 ... well, forget it, real classic hardware can't deal with such big software.

I suspect that the "spam filter" needs some tweaking. For example, it could take into account the tenure and post popularity of the author, and it could take into account the IP reputation (Spamhaus XBL etc) of the domain being referenced, vs randomly punishing a post for having a link.Last edited by linuxgeex; 09 March 2021, 04:58 PM.
