I have been very happy with the SIERRA C compiler.  Price is just under
$2000, depending on whether you want their special download cable.

It comes with a very good C compiler, linker, librarian, up/down loader
(both serial and parallel), macro assembler, and a source level debugger.
The debugger is still Beta (final one will be sent when ready), but does
seem to work o.k.  Support  includes both 68000 and 68020.  Host is
any AT or upward -- it will NOT work on an XT or PC.

They can do the usual S-record, Intel, or Tek formatting (or binary), and
include download/upload software for the serial port.  But they also have
a special parallel download/upload capability, using a special cable
connected to the printer port, and plugging into (under) a EPROM socket
on the target board.  This allows for BLAZING FAST downloads.

I have also found their customer support to be quite responsive.

this goes to whoever was looking for 68000 development software for ms-dos machines.

I would probably look in "Embedded Systems Programming" or "Dr. Dobbs Journal"
because they have a lot of articles about this kind of stuff...
