Hi all:

        Recently, our VME based 68000 system kicked the bucket.
Unfortunately for me, this was the system I have been using for my thesis
project development.  Now, I am desparately in search of a replacement, as
my department can't afford the outrageous cost of fixing this system.

        My question is, can anyone suggest a cheap ($250-$400) 68k system to
be used as a replacement?  I need it for writing a real-time multitasking
OS, so it doesn't really need to be running anything extravagent, other than
maybe a monitor...and it would be nice if it had ~512k or so mem.

        My second question is, is there specifically a cheap 68030 system
that anyone can recommend?

        Any help would be greatly appreciated...
