About two years ago Motorola was marketing a 68332 EVB/EVC/EVM system.  It consisted of a
small Business Card Computer (BCC) style/size circuit board with the 68332 microcontroller, some
ROM and RAM (about 128 KB I think.)  The 68332 is a 32-bit microcontroller with a MC68020 core
and some peripheral support functions, such as timers and I/O control.  I believe the processer
runs at or about 16 MHz.

At the time Motorola was marketing this to Colleges and Universities the price was in the $200-
$300 range.  However, the "regular" price was something like double that.

A classmate of mine bought one, and if it wasn't for a lack of cash, I would have picked one
up also.  It looked like a nice little package that had some horsepower in it.  

Maybe someone from Motorola can confirm whether this board is still available?????


Hope this helps.
