Sounds pretty cool, does Mot sell an EVB board for this?

I'd second this, plus I could use my Amiga directly for development. Its
so amazing at how many incredibly cheap tools are available for the old
IBM PC class of machine. It used to be unusual that I had a computer in
my house, now my mostly computer illiterate neighbor asked about my
SparcStation 1+, "So do you run up against the 640K memory limit that
home computers have ?" Sigh. I'd like to be snotty and brag about having
16 MB of memory except that he'd remind me he only paid $99 for a complete
C development system.
