Motorola runs a FREE bbs that has all kinds on neat source code on it. I
have downloaded the source to all the 8 bit assemblers, and even a
small C compiler for the 68hc11. I got all of these to compile perfectly
on the amiga, so now I am using my AMI as an engineering work station 
to develope microcontroller software on! Anyway, they also have a 
68000 assembler there, although I haven't downloaded it. It is a rather
large file, about 102K. Here is the line describing it from the BBS:

X68000  ARC    102912   05-09-87   DDJ PD MS-DOS 68K xasm w/ source

The 8 bit cross assemblers took very little work to port to the amiga,
mainly just hacking up the routine that looked for tabs and carriage 
returns, and fixing it so that it looked for linefeeds as well.  I 
would like to send my compiled binaries and fixed source to Bob
Page and Fred Fish, but I am not 100% positive that motorola would 
think that was the best thing to do. The source has no explicit 
notices saying that it is PD or not, and the board has nothing 
on it that I saw saying it is OK to distribute this stuff. Is there
anyone on here from motorola that could comment on this?  I also got
the small C compiler to run on the amiga, it is pretty neat! I 
would like to be able to contribute something to all this awesome
amiga stuff that I get here on usenet every day!
   The phone number for the motorola BBS is 1-512-440-3733. I have heard
that Motorola also has a BBS for their 56000 series DSP chip, does
anyone have the phone number to it? Hope this helps you out!

Thanks for any help that you may be able to give me on these questions!
