.The correct current part number for these parts is MC68030RC25B and
.MC68882RC25A.  Without the proper suffix you might not be getting
.the proper response for availability.  They should both be available
.from any authorized Motorola distributor (in the Bay area there are 7)
.with factory delivery presently being quoted from 1 to 4 weeks.

When I called Wyle to get a quote on these parts (or maybe it was slower
ones), they made a big to-do of it.  I forget if they called them
blue-<something>, or blue-light specials ;-), but they asked if I'd
called anyone else for a quote, grilled me, and generally made me feel
that they weren't sure I was moral enough to buy them.  Perhaps they
want to make sure that we won't waste them by using them in toasters,
etc.
