	Many thanks to those who have offered information.  Again,
the answers provoked more questions:

From: blarson@castor.usc.edu (Bob Larson)
>Peripheral Technology makes a 68008 SBC.
 	Isn't that limited to 1Mbyte (minus rom?)

>GESPAC makes some interesting looking boards based on their G-64 bus,
>but they tend to advertise hundred-peice prices.  (Both advertise in 68mj.)
	Found their ad, the $395 sounds friendly, but not much memory.
I hope the backplane and peripheral cards are reasonable.

>68 micro journal is a biased source of information.  (They actually mentioned
>Frank Hogg the other month.  Does this mean the feud may be ending?
	I inquired about a 68 Micro Journal subscription and received 
a sample copy.  I sent a check to subscribe, more in SPITE of what i
saw than because of it.  A rational person would probably doubt my
sanity, to pay nearly $25 for the privilage of reading reading ads
for CPI's own products: 27% of the May issue page space is ads for
Data-Comp, Southeast Media, and Computer Publishing Inc., all part of
the same company.  No wonder they don't mention FHL.  Is this really
as good as it gets?

	I was just about to ask the address to MOTD, but luckily read
the 24 May message, which had my answer.

	** Next Question **  What are the best books on 68000 
programming?  System Design?  Reletive Merits of the various busses in
current use (mainly multibus and VME bus)?  Is S-100 still a viable choice?
