I am looking for a MULTIBUS single board computer.  I would like for it
to have some processor (almost any will do actually), some PROM monitor
or something to boot from, a large amount of memory (256K bytes), either
or both of a floppy/hard disk controller interface, and of course a serial
line or two for a terminal.  The "large amount of memory" sort of
recommends a 68000 processor, but I only want to use the board as I/O and
control for a processor that I am building on multibus cards.  Does such a
beast exist?  If so, who makes it/them? If no such beast exists, then
what are reasonable alternatives?  Cost is a big factor here, but I will
consider almost anything that solves my problems.  Also, has anyone heard
of multibus memory boards capable of 32-bit parallel data transfers (perhaps
using the p2 bus)?  I am building a 32-bit RISC machine (not like the
one from Berkeley, mine is much simpler) and true 32-bit transfers
would of course make things better.  Thanks in advance.
