Hi 68k'ers:
	In Byte last summer, there was an article about a 68020 coprocessor
card for IBM and compatibles, made by a company called Definicon.  The idea
really turned me on, but I couldn't (and can't) afford it.  Are there any
other 680xx coprocessors out there that are more affordable (say < $500)
that would allow one to run OS-9 on a PC and do real 680xx software
development?

	BTW, I recently was able to check out a copy of 68' Micro Journal
for the first time, but was kind of disappointed.  A lot of the material was
aimed at the 8-bit 680x family, and there weren't many ads for 68k products.

Hope you can help me, or I may have to sell out to Intel ==]B^)<*
