Well, if you are just testing the waters to see if you like it, i'd suggest a
PD assembler like A68k.  if you are determined to get into assembly and will
work with it then i suggest going all out and gettting a good assembler like
Macro 68.  in my opinion Macro 68 is the best there is, plus is is (as far as
i know) the only assembler that supports the new instructions in the 040, as
well as MMU instructions and copper instructions.
