Hi,

 I just spoke to the design group at Motorola. It seems they have
extended the offer of including a free 8Mhz 68010 in the kit to
cover all units sold. So, for $68 you get:

	MC68000
	MC68008 (8 bit 68000)
	MC68440 (DMA control)
	MC68230 (parallel interface/timer)
	MC68661 (enhanced peripheral communications interface)
	MC68652 (multi-protocol communication controller)
	MC68681 (dual UART)
	MC68901 (multi-function peripheral)

plus the complete M68000 documentation library, and a free MC68010
8Mhz MPU! 

 The kit is called the M68000KIT, and is available from any
authorized Motorola distributor. I heard that someone on BIX had
plugged an MC68010 into his Amiga and it worked fine, giving him a
fair increase in speed (thanks for making the software upwardly
compatible Amiga!)... does anyone have his exact figures and comments?

I've already ordered mine!
The number to call again for info is: 1-800-521-6274.

While all this sounds fine if you have a use for the raw chips does
Motorola make any kind of monitor ROM available for those who want 
to evaluate the chips?

There is MacsBug.. and TUTOR (motorola) motitors available for a 68000
based machine.  MacsBug has no assembler/disassembler.  Ther are other
home brewed monitors available with more capacity.  The only problem might
be getting the IO working so you can talk to the monitor.  For this you
would need source (tutor source is NOT AFFORDABLE).  But I know of a few
Home brews that take up more space that could be configured for the AMIGA.
You would need a terminal with RS232.  If you are interested drop me a note.
