Motorola Semiconductor has been selling the MC68HC000 for over a year now,
maybe two.  Data sheets should be available for the asking from any
Motorola Sales Office.  It is plug compatible, instruction compatible with
the standard 68000.  Power dissipation is under 0.2 watts.  It has been
available at 8, 10 and 12.5 Mhz speeds since its introduction, and it
seems i've heard about it being out at 16Mhz as well, but you'd need to
check that with your Motorola Semi sales person.  There is a university
support program in Phoenix where educational folks can get substantial
discounts on Motorola stuff...again, ask for the info when you call the
Semiconductor office.
