Thats it the SE/30. My mac history is a little rusty. At any rate i see little value other than the "geek" factor in getting haiku to boot in some form on a 68k. But in my own experience the later revisions of the 68k were very capable little chips, not exactly desktop level performance but very useful for different embedded applications. Ive got a few laying around.
