I just received some price quotes from Mary B. on 680x0 processors.
Since they are quoting leadtimes, I assume they are available now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
8 mHz, 5000 qty. 
			plastic		ceramic
			--------	--------
68000	MOTOROLA	 6.75		  -		6 WEEKS
	SIGNETICS	 3.10		 5.10		?
	HITACHI		 8.20				?

68010	MOTOROLA	14.55		24.80		2-4 WEEKS
------------------------------------------------------------------
WOW! Components will get the plastic parts qualified ASAP. Be sure to call out
the P/N for the plastic parts in future designs. Programmers should REALLY
consider 68000's over 68010's since it can mean another $10.00 savings!

	Another reason to strongly consider the 68000 over the 68010 is
that as far as I know, only Motorola makes the 68010.  Signetics, contrary
to the 68010 data in their book, will most likely never produce this.
Another source for the 68000 is Thomson Components Mostek.  Their salesperson
claimed last week that they are very competitive.  He will bring databooks,
availability and more details soon.
