Not the real thing... but maybe it will do:

I feel the same way about the 68HC11 stuff.  I was not happy with the prices
of the stuff I had seen in the backs of the compu-rags... but if you look on
page #108 of the Ciucuit Cellar, there is some company named "Minotaur Systems"
that is selling a 68HC11 board that has 32K of flash EPROM & 8K static RAM.
They claim generous prototyping space, but the whole thing is on a 5x5 board...
you think about it.  Uhmmm... 5 volt operation & a PC based assembler & 
downloading program.

I think I am going to pick one up & check it out.  They are only asking $109
for the version w/the flash EPROM... $84 for one without.

DISCALIMER - I never even herd of Minotaur before last evening when I read 
their ad in CC ink.  So this is not an advertisement.
