This cross assembler/compiler is actually made by Lattice, Inc. 
(I used to work there).  They are developers of the first (68000 based)
AMIGA C compiler and assembler.
They also sell an embedded system version of MSDOS->68000 assembler
and compiler not for the Amiga, called E68K. I believe it supports
020 and 881 code but check to make sure (The latest version of
the amiga cross assembler does).  The assembler works well but
the pseudo-ops are non-standard (OK for new code, if you are porting
code you should investigate another product or be prepared to spend
time changing pseudo-ops). The Lattice product used to be one
of the least expensive cross-development products.  There number
is (708)916-1600. 

Many other companies also sell 68000 cross assemblers, among them:
	2500 AD software	(Ad in recent Computer Language Mag.)
	Greenhills Inc.		(located somewhere in So. California,
				Pasadena(?),they have developed tools for the
				Apple MAc and probably sell a cross
				assembler from MS-DOS to 68K)
	SDS, Inc.		(located in Downers Grove,IL, ad in
				recent Computer Language MAg.)	
And probably many more companies.
