|Sure. The Consualair 68000 Development System (#TMSCDS) is available from APDA
|for $73. I also think they are selling it themselves (Consualair) directly.
|Finally, wasn't there an assembler out there called "McAssembler" or something?
|I believe that "McSink" was written in it (seeing as how the same person wrote
|both...)

The Consulair (note spelling) 68000 Development System is also available from
MacWarehouse for $59, shipped UPS second day air.  The CDS used to be Apple's
own Mac Development System, so if you know someone who uses MDS, they can give
you a good idea of how it works.  I've used MDS about since it was released,
and am relatively happy with it.

I believe Mainstay also has an assembler called MacAsm.  I only used a very
early version a couple of years ago, so I can't comment on it.

I'm not associated with Consulair, Apple, or MacWarehouse, except as a
satisfied customer, and not at all with Mainstay.
