Linux/m68k on Mac uses arch/m68k/mac/adb-bus.c, drivers/char/adbmouse.c and
include/asm-m68k/adb.h. All these files are up-to-date in 2.2.0-pre1, AFAIK
(just diffed between pre1 and m68k-.131).

Integration would be nice. Contact Michael Schmitz <mschmitz at lbl.gov> in case
of troubles.

Vger isn't the main repository for m68k. The main things that keep Linus' tree
from working on m68k are IDE and serial. We're working on integrating IDE
(patches are ready), but I'm afraid Linus won't accept them. BTW, in 3 more
months I'll celebrate `5 year IDE in Linux/m68k' on my Amiga, with the driver
still not integrated... sigh...

The mandatory site for Linux/m68k kernels is
ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/680x0/.

Greetings,
