Summary: The "holy grail" is a moving target

The original Motorola Assembler was for the M6800.  I strongly suspect
that what you are referring to is the original M68000 assembler.  It
first ran on an IBM mainframe, and then became available running under
Versados on a Motorola EXORmacs system.  It was later modified to take
into account the additional instructions that the 68010 provided, and
of course has been since modified to include 68020, 68030, 68881/2
instructions, and so on.  The original assembler manual still survives,
under the Motorola part number M68KMASM/D10, The M68000 Family Resident
Structured Assembler Reference Manual (Rev. 10).  Make sure that that is
really what you want, because the "Unix System V" assembler is quite
a bit different , since AT&T used a different set of mnemonics for the
68K instructions, and included assembler directives which are also 
different.  The Unix version manual part number is M68KUNASG/D5,
The System V/68 Assembler User's Guide (Rev 5).  Either or both manuals
can be ordered through the Motorola Literature Distribution Center,
P.O. Box 20924, Phoenix, AZ 85036-0924.
