Wow, that would have been a bargain, but it was really this:

	Motorola MC68020 Developers Kit - $399
	Includes:
		1 16 Mhz 68020 and manual
		1 16 Mhz 68881 and manual
		1 16 Mhz 68851 and manual (all mine were XC parts)
		1 4K of 35ns static RAM
		2 8 Bit A/D converters
		1 Thick looseleaf notebook full of app notes for all the
		above and more.

It was quite a bargain anyway - I picked up about three of them a year-1/2 or
so back. You'll have to call your local Hamilton Avnet to find out if they're
still available.
