Let's get back (sorta) to the original issue.  What is a fair price
for a 68851 and from whence does one obtain one?

Apple charges over $400, even with an academic discount.  The chip
supply houses (retail discount ones) I have talked with don't stock
them.  Seems like Motorola is selling them all to OEM's.  Am I really
stuck with the inflated Apple price?
