I am in the need of a relatively inexpensive 68000 based SBC
(single board computer) that will allow expansion up to
512k words (1Mb).  The only relatively cheap card that I have
found is the Cypher from Motel Computers in Canada- $399 bare,
$1299 populated with 68K,z-80,1Mb,floppy controller, NEC7220
video controller. It looks awfully good on paper, but I have
never heard of it save the Byte ads for the last year or two...

Does anyone have one of these Beasts? Is it any good? Are there
any OTHER SBCs out there worth looking at? Your comments welcome.
