Based on the Motorola 68008 CPU, 20 bit address bus and 8 bit data bus, running at 2 MHz.
 
(Apparently it is now impossible to build on a solderless breadboard, using only chips currently in production, a computer that can run Linux -- so running Linux on a solderless breadboard necessarily requires using some out-of-producing part like the 68008).
 
Runs uClinux, heavily pruned to fit in 480 KB Flash ROM (the remaining 32 KB of the 512 KB Flash ROM is masked by memory-mapped I/O devices) and and 512 KB of SRAM.
 
Runs vi and Colossal Cave Adventure.
 
"a super-minimal uClinux system ... it needs about 343K of ROM and 312K of RAM, or just 628K of RAM if you’ve got a bootloader that can fill RAM from some external source. My 68 Katy system is slightly heavier than that due to including vi and Adventure".

a later PCB version runs at 12 MHz.
 
schematic and board layout available in KiCad format.
