I am looking for people who have had experience with the 683xx family of
processors.  This is an adaptation of the standard 68000 CPU and includes
things like timers and counters on the chip.  I'm looking for someone who
has done some design work in either hardware or software to relate their
feelings on using it, designing with it, coding for it, and interfacing it.
We are thinking of using one in a new project and are wondering if it has
any hidden plusses or minuses that we should be aware of.

Please send any responses (good or bad) to me as e-mail.
