 For the 68020 there is an external MMU chip, the 68030,040,060 have an
 MMU built in. But that's the real hardware.
 
 Basilisk II only emulates enough to run MacOS.
 
 On the other hand its CPU emulation is based on some revision of UAE
 and recent (Win)UAE emulates the MMU. With enough effort you could
 teach Basilisk the necessary changes and then run NetBSD/mac68k.
