	Why don't you try starting off with one of the really good books
on the market?  Here at UMASS in the computer systems engineeing course we
use the book "68000 Microcomputer Systems, Designing and Troubleshooting,"
by Alan D Wilcox.  In Cambridge, you should be able to get it over at
Qantuum books.  I have more or less followed it to get my 68K up and
running in less than three weeks of lab time.

	There is also a really interesting book by Dr Dobbs, "Dr Dobb's
Toolbook of 68000 Programming."  Wilcox contributed a couple of chapters
to that one too.
